Flat Top Cranes

Most of our flat top cranes are from Linden Comansa who pioneered this type of tower crane.

Advantages of this type of crane are:

  • No A-frame and tie bars to clear with adjacent cranes, resulting in much lower tower heights, foundation sizes and operator climbing times on multi crane sites
  • All the forces in the jib act in one direction, with the tension in the top and compression in the bottom. This completely eradicates pin wear
  • Much easier and safer to erect. The crane can be erected one piece at a time if there is not enough room to build the jib on the ground
