GHD5522-12 Luffing Tower Crane on South Korea Construction Site

A Luffing Jib Crane is characterized by the ability to raise and lower its jib, which allows it to reduce the turning radius. This type of crane, the Luffing Jib Tower Crane, is the best solution for very congested sites where there are buildings, other cranes or space limitations.

 This is because the slewing radius is highly reduced in comparison to standard Tower Crane Types. The Luffing Tower Crane also has a higher lifting capacity because the weight is transferred from the crane’s jib much more effectively.
