Top-slewing crane rental: Everything you need to know
Enhance your heavy-lifting capabilities with rentmas' selection of top slewing crane rentals. These powerful machines combine impressive lifting capacity with precise maneuverability, making them essential for projects requiring heavy material handling in complex construction environments. Top slewing cranes provide efficient lifting solutions for high-rise construction, infrastructure development, and industrial installations.
Is a top-slewing crane the right machine for my project?
Top slewing cranes – also known as top-slewing tower cranes – are cranes that feature a rotating jib mounted on a vertical tower with a counterweight system, enabling reliable operation at significant heights. The combination of their vertical tower and balanced jib system makes top slewing cranes ideal for jobs that require precise load placement and extended reach across construction zones.
Top slewing cranes are categorized based on their maximum load capacity, jib length, and hook height. Top slewing cranes on the rentmas platform are available with lifting capacities from 6 to 40 tonnes with jib lengths of up to 85 meters. For more specialized lifting needs or mobile crane requirements, explore our selection of fast-erecting cranes and mobile cranes.
Consider your project requirements carefully when selecting a top slewing crane. Factors such as site layout, load weights, required reach, and foundation requirements will determine which model best matches your construction needs.
Top slewing cranes deliver exceptional lifting performance and coverage, enabling operators to handle loads where mobile cranes cannot operate efficiently. These machines excel at combining vertical reach with extensive horizontal coverage and impressive load capabilities, making them ideal for large-scale, vertically demanding construction projects with complex lifting requirements. As with any lifting equipment, make sure you complete a comprehensive site survey and establish proper foundation support before putting your top slewing crane to work.
Top slewing cranes can be equipped with various features to enhance their productivity. The standard configuration includes VFDs (variable frequency drives) and anti-collision systems. Other common features and options include:
- Remote monitoring systems: For real-time operation tracking
- Zoning systems: For restricted area control
- Wind speed monitors: For weather safety
- Camera systems: For enhanced visibility
- Load moment indicators: For safe load handling
