The major impact these cranes have on a construction site is the time that it takes for them to perform movements necessary to lift an object from point A to point B. The luffing crane allows the jib and the load to stay within the construction site boundaries at all times and ensure the safety of the general public.Īlthough luffing cranes are life savers when it comes to working within major city centres or enclosed construction sites they can greatly affect performance and economics of a construction site not hindered by tight jurisdictions. These rights are not usually given when the loads being carried by the crane must be brought overtop of neighbouring building which are public, government or have a heavy population of the general public such as public transport stations. This has solved a lot of issues for projects where over sailing rights are not possible or very difficult to achieve in cities around the world. This is the opposite to the flat top crane which must be left parallel to the project and at the fixed radius of the jib already pre-determined.
With the design of the luffing crane, the jib has the capability of being lift standing vertical in the air at a minimum of 5m radius from the mass section. Luffing cranes, especially over the last 15 years, have helped to solve a lot of inner city construction problems when it comes to the fight for precious space in and around a construction site.
I’ll review a few pros and cons of using a luffing crane and hope you can use this as useful guide. I thought it appropriate to touch on some of the key concepts to consider when choosing the tower crane setup model for your next project. The question of why and when to choose a luffing crane over a hammerhead or flat top has come up a lot in recent meetings.
