CITY / TOWER CRANES


Our collection of large cranes serves various industries, handling tasks that involve lifting and moving heavy objects, such as constructing skyscrapers, high-rise apartment complexes, bridges, wind turbines, and other major structures.

For instance, the Flat top Tower Crane consists of a tall, anchored mast or tower and a horizontal jib or boom, which is counterweighted and extends from the top of the mast.

One of the key advantages of tower cranes is their remarkable height-reach capability. The tall pole and long boom of the Flat Top Tower Crane enable it to access even the highest points of buildings and structures, eliminating the need for scaffolding and other support systems. Additionally, tower cranes offer versatility, with their jibs capable of 360-degree rotation and extension to reach different sections of a construction site. Many tower cranes are equipped with a fly jib, further expanding their reach and lifting capacity.

A big well done to our team who last night successfully completed the removal of a redundant timber footbridge in the center of Wadebridge. The project involved manual separation, a contract lift (Sparrow Crane Hire), and road closures to ensure works were carried out as safely as possible whilst being undertaken at night to minimize disruption to the local community.
