Question:

How do concrete blocks get to the top of cranes? I know why they're there but how do they get up there?

Do they need another crane to get the concerete blocks to the top? And how do they move the blocks from one end of the crane to another. This has been bothering me for some time so anyone who knows the answer I would love to hear it!

Answer:

Its simple man, The company produces the concrete blocks called as hollow blocks also, they are lifted up using man power or lifts or cranes, dont know what was difficult to you in understanding that.
Construction cranes are erected on site. They are usually assembled on the ground with small cranes, then lift themselves up. The erection sequence is carefully figured, so minimal other equipment is needed. For conventional cranes that are permanent and thus only assembled once, portable cranes are used to erect them. Still, generally pretty much on the ground. Some have counterbalances that are permanently fixed, others have a rail type mechanism that moves in and out.
