Self-erecting tower cranes are a mainstay of the construction industry around the world and are now quickly taking hold in North America.
These cranes offer significant advantages for hoisting and material handling on all forms of construction projects when compared to conventional tower cranes, mobile cranes and forklifts which are in current use today.
Compare the savings on just a 4-month three story construction project:
| Rent a self erecting crane | $40,000 |
| Eliminate these costs | |
| 4 framers at $4,000/month each | $64,000 |
| Off road forklift at $3,750 month | $15,000 |
| Mobile crane for trusses | $3,000 |
| Laborers for masonry work | $3,000 |
| Extra roads around building | $6,000 |
| Stone slinger for pea gravel around site | $4,000 |
| Pump truck costs for colums, footings & walls | $4,000 |
|
|
|
| Total costs | $99,000 |
|
|
|
| Net savings to contractor | $59,000 |
All totaled the general contractor saved $59,000.00 in just 4 months.
Providing the same general contractor did three similar projects per year his net savings for having chosen a self erecting crane would have amounted to $177,000.00!
It is this type of decisive shift in cost management and profitability that can be leveraged by the use of self erecting cranes and likewise one that is so different from the history of the North American construction industry that is being brought to light by our growing dealership base.
Another big consideration...
If your project is 12 stories or less and you were going to use a conventional tower crane significant additional cost reductions are now possible.
A single self erecting crane can act to displace a tower crane on
projects up to12 stories tall.
As you know it is an extremely expensive to erect, operate and dismantle a tower crane.
Typically costs are:
- $15,000 – $20,000 to
erect and dismantle;
- $15,000 - $20,000 throughout a 4 month project for 3-phase power installation and service;
- $10,000 - $25,000 for the concrete base;
- Plus the very high costs of tower crane operators and riggers
All of these costs can be eliminated or at least significantly reduced if you use a self erecting crane instead of a tower crane making the use of a tower crane now only cost effective on projects over 12 stories.
