Used Potain Tower Cranes Rialto

Some industrial and commercial buildings could reach heights of over 60 stories. Obviously, while these buildings are being constructed, they need equally tall cranes to be able to move the materials to the higher floors. There are cranes which are operated from the back of trucks or other types that have their own vehicle connected. Tower cranes are the largest ones available on the market.

Tower cranes are stand-alone structures found as part of a major city's downtown skyline on high-rise building projects. When new construction like for example apartment buildings and skyscrapers and commercial facilities like for instance shopping center are being built, odds are a crane would be on site.

Kinds
The two key types of cranes could be differentiated by the manner in which their jib or boom lifts materials. The jib is the metal frame that extends from the main section. On a flat tower crane, the jib remains horizontal when it lifts things. On a luffing type of tower crane, the jib could ratchet to downward or upward angles. The lifting capacity for both kinds could vary from 30 pounds to 10,000 pounds

Body
The body of the crane is composed of a mast. This is a vertical steel frame which is a combination of individual sections. In order to increase the overall height of the machinery, parts are added. The mast extends upward to where the desired height is, to the control module, that is a small room that has glass windows on all four sides or to the tower as it is also referred to. The driver of the crane works from inside of the tower.

Lift
The crane uses a braided metal cord to be able to raise supplies. This cord extends out from a motor located next to the control module to the end of the jib or boom. There is a pulley system located at the end of the jib, through which the cord is positioned and lowered down. The jib which holds the cord becomes balanced by a counter jib located on the opposite side of the tower. The counter jib holds weights. These weights help to prevent the crane from tipping over when heavy supplies are lifted.
