Tower systems

Our tower systems for all requirements

Our tower systems offer the right solution for every challenge. Discover the flexibility each system offers and combine them to maximise lifting capacities. The tower systems' logically structured designations show key characteristics at a glance for extra clarity. Increasing external dimensions increases the tower's lifting capacity but also the space required at the tower's base. Find the right solution for your crane to make your projects a success.

Our tower systems

24 HC – a tower of strength

High-performance tower system with different lifting capacities of up to 1250 mt
Durable, zero-play taper pin connections for quick and easy assembly/disassembly
Integrated pin magazine ensures pins are ready to hand
Long service life and retains value

21 HC – our well-known mainstay

Time-tested and in use for years
Durable, high-tensile, zero-play screw pin connections
Integrated pin magazine ensures pins are ready to hand
Extra-high freestanding heights can be achieved with base tower sections or when used in combination with the 24 HC tower system

16 HC – a compact tower of power

Slim corner posts measuring 1.6 m make the16 HC tower system suitable for any type of transport, whether it's by truck or via container for overseas work
Durable, high-tensile, zero-play screw pin connections
Integrated pin magazine ensures pins are ready to hand
Compatible transition sections make flexible combinations with the 17 HC 200 and 21 HC 290 tower systems possible, so that specific hook heights can be achieved

16 EC – quick and easy

The 16 EC tower system is perfect for small to medium-sized construction projects thanks to its two lifting capacities: 160 mt and 240 mt
Quick and easy hammer-drive pin connections (standard hammer-drive pins or assembly-optimised tensile pins)
Cost-optimised transport by truck or container
Lifting capacity and external dimensions combine to make the 16 EC tower system particularly suitable for climbing inside buildings

12 EC – slimline and powerful

The 12 EC tower system's extremely slim corner posts measuring 1.2 m make it ideal for construction sites with restricted available space
Quick and easy hammer-drive pin connections (standard hammer-drive pins or assembly-optimised tensile pins)
Cost-optimised transport by truck or container
Can be combined with the 16 EC tower system to increase hook heights

Climbing on/inside buildings

Climbing is the solution when a project's requirements can’t be met using a crane's possible free-standing hook height. Two options are available here:

Climbing on the building

The crane is set up outside the building. Tie-ins are used to secure the crane to the building for structural stability. This allows the crane to grow upwards parallel to the building.

Climbing inside the building

The crane is positioned inside the building, for example in a lift shaft. As construction progresses, the crane can be climbed upwards with the help of a hydraulic power pack. The crane is then secured in the building using climbing collars.

Site-specific crane foundations

Requirements for tower cranes vary depending on the construction site in question. We offer you site-specific solutions for crane foundations as every building site has its own challenges. Several options are available to optimise the secure placement of our crane on your site:

Cross frame

A cross frame is a particularly efficient crane foundation solution in terms of transport as well as assembly.

Foundation anchor

If space is extremely limited, our cranes can be mounted on foundation anchors. These are set in concrete in the building’s foundation.

Undercarriage

Our customers can rely on various options to compensate for unevenness, including screw jacks, support pads and pyramidal supports.

Rail-mounted use

The only way to move a crane under load is to use an undercarriage on rails. This allows the crane's working range to be extended.
