Tower cranes are large stationary cranes used for heavy vertical lifting on multi-story buildings and large projects. Lifting capacities typically range from 5 tons at maximum radius to 50+ tons at minimum radius. These cranes are rented with operator and crew. Typical rental costs for tower cranes range from $2,000-$8,000+ per week depending on capacity and location. Tower cranes require professional assembly and disassembly by specialized crews. Boom lengths typically range from 150 to 300+ feet. Cranes require power (typically 3-phase 480V) and regular maintenance. NCCCO certification is required for all operators. Common applications include high-rise construction, bridge work, and heavy industrial projects. Safety is critical; all work must comply with OSHA regulations and load charts.
