Tower Crane Luffing

The Luffing Tower Crane is a specialized crane design distinguished by its pivoting jib, which can move up and down to vary the working radius. Unlike the traditional flat-top or topkit cranes, luffing cranes are ideal for confined urban construction sites where space is limited and air rights are restricted.

Luffing cranes offer several key advantages:

• Reduced slewing radius, allowing multiple cranes to operate simultaneously in tight spaces,

• Increased vertical reach for high-rise construction,

• Precise load positioning due to the adjustable jib angle.

This crane type is widely used in densely built urban environments, particularly for skyscrapers, bridge pylons, and other vertical structures that require precision and height without obstructing surrounding areas.
