tower cranes

Tower cranes are tall, fixed cranes commonly used in constructing skyscrapers and large buildings. They consist of a vertical mast that provides height and a horizontal jib or arm that rotates around the mast to lift and move heavy materials like steel, concrete, and equipment. Controlled by skilled operators, these cranes can lift thousands of pounds and reach great heights, enabling efficient construction of tall structures. Their stable design and precise movement help ensure safety and productivity on construction sites.
