When to choose a heavy lifting tower crane
Heavy lifting tower cranes are used on construction projects where materials or structural components exceed the lifting capacity of standard tower cranes. These cranes are typically selected when lifting requirements exceed 15 tonnes.
Projects requiring heavy lifting may include the installation of large structural steel elements, plant equipment or precast concrete units. In these situations, cranes with higher lifting capacities are needed to safely position heavier loads at height.
Bennetts operates a fleet of high-capacity tower cranes suited to a wide range of construction projects, from large residential developments to major commercial builds.
Our newest crane, the Liebherr 620 HC-L, offers lifting capacities of up to 36 tonnes while maintaining a compact out-of-service radius. This allows it to operate efficiently on sites where space is limited while still handling very heavy loads.
Frequently asked questions
What is a heavy lifting tower crane?
A heavy lifting tower crane is typically used when lifting requirements exceed 15 tonnes, such as when lifting pre-cast concrete units, plant equipment or other heavy loads of building materials
How much weight can a tower crane lift?
The lifting capacity of a tower crane depends on the model and configuration. High-capacity cranes in the Bennetts fleet can lift loads of up to 36 tonnes.
What is the difference between a standard tower crane and a heavy lifting crane?
Standard tower cranes are typically used for general lifting tasks, while heavy lifting cranes are designed for projects requiring greater lifting capacity and loads beyond the capabilities of standard tower cranes.
