Q: What is a Self Erecting Tower Crane?

A Self Erecting Tower Crane (SETC) is a Tower Crane that can be easily inserted on a site with restricted space in a short period of time. These cranes operate from a fixed position and must be safely placed on site by qualified field engineers familiar with the mechanisms that they are using. A Self Erecting Tower Cranes is normally operated using a crane remote control, though in some cases an operator cab may be fitted to the tower section.

As it operates from a small footprint the safety of the sites that the SETC is placed on is increased due to fewer site movements. For more information on Self Erecting Cranes click here .
