the original

was wondering, some of the ones i see are too big to lift up with a mobile crane etc.
do they make up the horizontal bit then put the sections in at the bottom?

Ginge !

they break down in sections then a mobile crane builds em

Not fussed on how they are put up, my main concern is security - I love climbing these fuckers

Yes, the section just under the cab is a jacking section, extra bits are put in through it. Then the cab and jib jack up onto the extra section.

i did look onto working for a firm called city group lifting, the money tower crane erectors get is toilet


years ago when they was building the city group and hsbc building at canary wharf, i had to build scaffolds out from the the top of the building to the crane itself. that was a chuffing long way up


wouldnt fancy sitting in that little ox all day when they start moving in the wind
