Tower systems

Our tower systems for all requirements

Our tower systems offer the right solution for every challenge. Discover the flexibility each system offers and combine them to maximise lifting capacities. The tower systems' logically structured designations show key characteristics at a glance for extra clarity. Increasing external dimensions increases the tower's lifting capacity but also the space required at the tower's base. Find the right solution for your crane to make your projects a success.

Our tower systems

24 HC – a tower of strength

  • High-performance tower system with different lifting capacities of up to 1250 mt
  • Durable, zero-play taper pin connections for quick and easy assembly/disassembly
  • Without transitions up to 630 mt load capacity
  • Long service life and retains value

21 HC – our well-known mainstay

  • Time-tested and in use for years
  • Durable, high-tensile, zero-play screw pin connections
  • Integrated pin magazine ensures pins are ready to hand
  • Extra-high freestanding heights can be achieved with base tower sections or when used in combination with the 24 HC tower system

16 HC – a compact tower of power

  • Slim corner posts measuring 1.6 m make the16 HC tower system suitable for any type of transport, whether it's by truck or via container for overseas work
  • Durable, high-tensile, zero-play screw pin connections
  • Integrated pin magazine ensures pins are ready to hand
  • Compatible transition sections make flexible combinations with the 17 HC 200 and 21 HC 290 tower systems possible, so that specific hook heights can be achieved

16 EC – quick and easy

  • The 16 EC tower system is perfect for small to medium-sized construction projects thanks to its two lifting capacities: 160 mt and 240 mt
  • Quick and easy hammer-drive pin connections (standard hammer-drive pins or assembly-optimised tensile pins)
  • Cost-optimised transport by truck or container
  • Lifting capacity and external dimensions combine to make the 16 EC tower system particularly suitable for climbing inside buildings

12 EC – slimline and powerful

  • The 12 EC tower system's extremely slim corner posts measuring 1.2 m make it ideal for construction sites with restricted available space
  • Quick and easy hammer-drive pin connections (standard hammer-drive pins or assembly-optimised tensile pins)
  • Cost-optimised transport by truck or container
  • Can be combined with the 16 EC tower system to increase hook heights

Site-specific crane foundations

Every construction site has its own challenges. We offer several different options to make sure our cranes can be optimally positioned on your construction site:

Foundation anchors

If space is very limited, our cranes can be mounted on foundation anchors. These are set in concrete in the building’s foundation.

Reusable foundation anchors

Designed for repeat use, as part of the anchor is reusable. More sustainable than standard foundation anchors, as they reduce the amount of steel required and minimise transport costs.

Cruciform base

The use of a cruciform base is a particularly efficient foundation solution in terms of transport and assembly.

Undercarriage

Our customers can rely on various options to compensate for unevenness, including screw jacks, support pads and pyramidal supports.

Rail-mounted use

The only way to move a crane under load is to use an undercarriage on rails. This allows the crane’s working range to be extended.

Climbing on/inside buildings

Climbing is the solution when a project's requirements can’t be met using a crane's possible free-standing hook height. Two options are available here:

Climbing on the building

The crane is set up outside the building. Tie-ins are used to secure the crane to the building for structural stability. This allows the crane to grow upwards parallel to the building.

Climbing inside the building

The crane is positioned inside the building, for example in a lift shaft. As construction progresses, the crane can be climbed upwards with the help of a hydraulic power pack. The crane is then secured in the building using climbing collars.
