A Solution for Every Situation: Self Erecting Cranes and the Building Industry

There's always a problem to be solved in the building trade but then, as long as one knows where to look, there's also always a solution. In the case of awkwardly shaped, hard to reach or just plain small building site areas, one of the best and most common solutions is self erecting cranes. Cranes that build themselves save time, money and effort and, most crucially, space, which is a commodity usually stretched to breaking point on a construction site.

A self erecting crane has a maximum operating capacity of 6 tonnes, more than enough for most average lifts; and can hoist a 1 tonne weight when its boom arm is extended through a 40 metre radius. They can be radio controlled, which brings hiring costs down as no operator is involved and they avoid the necessity either for extensive ground preparation, foundation pumps or mobile crane visits. Self erecting cranes are quiet, efficient and cost effective the three magic phrases for any construction company working within residential areas, environmentally or noise restricted areas, or inside large buildings.

Traditional building sites, which often employ static cranes for their heavy lifting, will grind to a halt for a minimum of one day while the crane is being erected. That single day represents a huge amount of money invested effectively into nothing money paid to workers, to contract bosses and to peripheral employees, as well as money offset from future projects because the site workers will eventually take a day longer to complete their tasks. Self erecting cranes obviate all of these problems to a pretty huge extent making them the obvious choice for all small to medium sized jobs that don't require the extra special services of a mobile crane (which can get into spaces that no other large lifter can).

Furthermore, use of self erecting lifting gear represents a significant improvement in health and safety on site. The day during which a static crane is erected and has its foundation poured is probably the most dangerous day of any project. A static crane is made up of very big, very heavy pieces and of course is ballasted by huge slabs of concrete. While all that weight and balance is being thrown up, it is by definition neither secure nor balanced. That's a risk that can result in serious accidents or injury. Self erecting cranes remove nearly all of this risk from the building site meaning that they bring back a whole day's worth of money (which, in the trade, is a lot) and allow everyone to get on with their work secure in the knowledge that they don't have to watch out for falling bits of machinery.

In the right circumstance, on the right job, self erecting cranes are the most cost efficient, safe and low impact machines with which to lift.
