The construction of high-rise buildings requires the special configuration of tower cranes, to achieve better freestanding height of the tower crane. This allows the hook height to be raised without the need to tie the crane onto the building.
Crane & Hoist Equipment SA, the Southern African dealer for Potain cranes, specialises in tower crane configurations, highlighting that the special configuration option needs a high level of in-depth knowledge, technical expertise and experience.
The company explains that the process can be implemented by starting with bigger mast sections and then adapting to the normal mast size, in order to achieve a better hook height. This differs from the standard configuration available on the crane’s specification sheet and offers greater flexibility at reduced expense to the customer. Without the added cost of anchoring or jacking, overall project costs can be reduced while also saving time.
Crane & Hoist Equipment SA deals in both rental and sales of Potain tower cranes and its rental fleet comprises eight top-slewing cranes and one bottom-slewing crane.
“Our rental fleet is well-suited to meet the needs of small and medium-sized projects, where lifting capacity of between 5 t and 8 t is required, with jib lengths of 50 m to 60 m,” asserts the company.
