Luffing Tower Cranes

Working in tight and restricted spaces in urban metro areas and downtown construction sites is a common challenge when working with tower cranes. In such an instance, a Luffing Jib Tower Crane is a great choice for projects and sites with limited spaces. Utilizing the unique feature of a luffing crane to raise or lower its jib, it can effectively minimize the slewing radius. This ensures safe and efficient operation in constrained spaces.

In construction sites where simultaneous operation of two or more cranes is used, opting for a Luffing Jib Tower Crane is a great choice. Its distinctive advantage lies in the significantly reduced slewing radius compared to the conventional tower crane types. This not only enhances safety but also optimizes spatial efficiency on busy work sites. Moreover, Luffing Cranes showcase a higher lifting capacity, attributed to the more efficient transfer of weight from the crane’s jib. This results in a seamless and efficient construction process that meets the demands of complex projects.

As more countries increasingly shift to building wind turbines developments as a sustainable energy source, the demand for specialized cranes arises. Traditional luffing cranes often lack the necessary free-standing height needed for erecting wind turbines. Recognizing this need, Kroll has innovated their Luffing Jib Tower Cranes to meet the industry demands for elevated hook heights during wind turbine installation.
