Used Pecco Cranes San Diego

Parts of a Tower Crane
Tower cranes allow the construction industry to make various incredible structures. These cranes have been used to reach ever-increasing heights. Tower cranes provide the means to raise and transport supplies, tools and building parts all over a construction location. There are various parts which assemble a tower crane once they are put together. Putting a tower crane together uses different pieces of construction equipment.

Base
Typically, the base of a tower crane is made from a steel unit. The base is connected to a concrete pad that is custom-designed. This type of set-up provides the structure with stability. Overall, the construction needs to be engineered and constructed well so as to operate at optimum safety.

Mast
The tower cranes mast provides height to the machine. The mast is made of connected steel parts. The amount of sections determines the height of the crane. Typically, a tower crane has a design that enables the mast to grow during construction by adding further sections as the building process goes on. This way the height of the crane can be specified, making certain that it has enough height to perform the required work efficiently and safely.

Slewing Unit/Top Climber
A slewing unit is located at the top of the mast. This unit houses the machines and the motor which enables the crane to rotate. A top climber is the piece of equipment which enables the mast to grow. The top climber sits just beneath the slewing unit. Hydraulic rams inside the top climber enable the slewing unit to be disconnected from the mast by raising it higher.

Boom
The term "boom", refers to the working arm of a tower crane. The boom is made up of separate steel parts that are connected together, extending out from the top of the slewing unit and parallel to the ground. There is a trolley connected to the underside which could run the length of the boom. This trolley has the hoisting device.
