Self-Erecting Cranes
contributing to the healthy market for self-erectors.
A second driver is expansion of self-erectors into new sectors of the industry, for example modular construction, prefab construction and infrastructure work.
“ Self-erecting cranes are increasingly used in residential and mid-rise commercial construction, but also in infrastructure projects and as service cranes on major jobs,” said Terex’ s Maynard.
And the third driver is growing awareness that self-erecting cranes can solve many challenges now common across all sectors of the lifting industry.
For example, everyone noted tight jobsites, condensed project schedules, labor shortages and the need to minimize costs.
“ Using a self-erecting crane often helps reduce cost by reducing the need for manpower and by allowing the jobsite to run more safely and efficiently,” said Creative Lifting’ s Webb.
Added Morrow’ s Stalter,“ Forward thinkers are starting to view self-erecting cranes as a more efficient alternative to traditional lifting equipment like telehandlers, rough-terrain cranes, and mobile cranes, particularly where space it tight.”
Stalter noted that besides reducing crew size, a self-erector often can boost productivity by being able to reach an entire project site from one spot and by being able to place materials right at the point of use rather than just over a roof parapet.
