Types of tower cranes and their uses

Tower cranes are divided into three categories: fixed, mobile and rising. A tower crane is a type of tower crane that lifts heavy objects up to a certain height and then moves them in different radii. Due to the high maneuverability of the tower crane in the field of loading, this device is used in various industries.

All tower cranes, regardless of their type, have fixed components. There are different types of tower cranes, which almost all follow the same rule in carrying out work and loading:

Rail tower crane Road tower crane Floating tower crane A tower crane is a type of tower crane that lifts heavy objects up to a certain height and then moves them in different radii. Due to the high maneuverability of the tower crane in the field of loading, this device is used in various industries.

In the construction of this tower crane, simple parts in the form of trusses have been used. Mobile tower cranes have a wide operational radius and cover a large height. Rising tower cranes are placed on buildings under construction and rise as the height of the building increases. This type of tower crane is also used in the industry of tower construction and construction of skyscrapers and bridge construction.

The load capacity in the tower is based on their structure, how much energy it can lift from the ground, this is done by the electric motor, and the electric motor goes to the gearbox and from the gearbox to the drum. In other words, the winch is connected, and by the winch, the required amount of towing wire is connected to the load up to the required height of the device and an interface called hook hook. It should be noted that after the driver and the steering wheel, all the above systems are being controlled by a series of microswitches so that the device does not lift more than the permissible load (tonnage) from the ground and the safety of the device is maintained. p>

Type of cargo Size and shape of load The location of the load and the amount of change in the desired location of the load The height required to lift the load Allowed operating radius according to the tower crane and its beam type Load weight and accessories Sufficient space for beam and chamber operations

Tower cranes use the self-assembly power of the device to increase the height after the initial installation and assembly, which is done by a mobile crane, which requires a series of very sensitive operations and by adding sections (Elevation part) gets higher and by reducing it, its height also decreases. Of course, different types of tower cranes have different operations depending on the type or country of manufacture.
