As the name suggests, the mobile cranes are those cranes that can be moved from one place to another. The mobile cranes are further divided into:

  • Tire Mounted Cranes: These cranes are fitted with telescopic booms. These cranes are again divided into:
  • Rough Terrain Cranes: This is a crane where the boom is mounted on the upper carriage and undercarriage on their four rubber tires. These cranes are designed for off-road pickups.
  • All-Terrain Cranes: These cranes can be taken to the highways and they can comfortably run on uneven roads as well.

Tower Cranes

  • Tower Cranes are fixed on a single foundation but they have the capacity to work on a larger radius.

Crane Erection at the Site

  • Now that you know the types of cranes available in the market, let us tell you how these different cranes can be erected well.

Mobile Cranes

  • One of the biggest advantages of working with mobile cranes is that they are not required to be erected at the site separately. However, the cranes above the weight of 100 tonnes have to be erected by removing their counterweights as they have to be taken to the crane separately.

Crawler Cranes

These cranes can be transported to the business site in a dismantled manner. The modern crawler cranes can be erected in the following ways:

  • Self Assembly: There are certain crawler cranes that can assemble itself. This simply means that they can be assembled without any human intervention. They use the technique of self-assembly, but it is quite time-consuming.
  • Erection with supporting crane: This calls for one of the most popular crane erection technique where one crane needs the support of other cranes for its assembly.
