Tower cranes and construction hoists are types of construction hoisting machinery that perform vertical lifting and high-altitude material handling during the construction of high-rise buildings, large public buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure. Unlike mobile cranes, they generally remain fixed in one location for an extended construction period. Tower cranes are used to lift steel structures, precast components, construction materials and large equipment into position, while construction hoists transport workers and materials to active working floors.

ZOOMLION offers various types of tower cranes and construction hoists, including flat-top tower cranes, super-large tower cranes, luffing jib tower cranes, topless hydraulic luffing jib cranes, wind power luffing jib tower cranes and construction hoists, to suit different building heights, load requirements and site conditions. Flat-top tower cranes enable multiple tower cranes to operate on the same site, while luffing jib cranes adjust their jib angles to change the working radius when the surrounding space is limited. When selecting tower cranes and construction hoists, the load weight and target working floors determine the required lifting capacity and lifting height. For tower cranes, the working radius must also cover the distance to material pickup and installation points. It is also necessary to assess the available on-site space and the daily number of lifting cycles to select suitable models and configurations of tower cranes and construction hoists for the planned construction works.
