What are Top Slewing Cranes?
Top slewing cranes are a subgroup of tower cranes and define a specific crane type. They are used for vertical and horizontal lifting of goods on construction sites and belong to the category of lifting equipment. In the Construction Equipment List (BGL), cranes are listed under the letter "C".
With top slewing cranes, as the name suggests, the slewing ring is located at the top of the mast and not at the bottom near ground level. Top slewing cranes are also dismountable and can be transported to the job site in individual parts. They require less space on a construction site than bottom slewing cranes and have significantly higher load capacity.
