What is the difference between crawler crane and tower crane?
Tower cranes are generally used in high-rise building construction. They are self elevating and attached. The boom is very long and the construction site is very common. Multi story buildings can be replaced by automobile cranes.Crawler cranes are used in municipal engineering, such as subways, bridges and so on. Lifting weights can be moved.It's very easy to tell from the outside, so you can search for some pictures.
There are many differencesThe crawler is used to transport items in a smaller range of motion (site)A tower, used for construction, stationary, or maneuvering along a railroad track.Crawler can easily reach the magnitude of 50 tons or moreMore than ten tons of tower are relatively commonTrack internal combustion engine, hydraulicTower type general power consumptionWait, wait......
Difference：1, tower crane tower body (lower) stand up like a tower, so called tower crane; crawler crane slewing below is tracked chassis, like crawler tractor chassis.2, tower cranes are generally used in high-rise building construction, lifting and attaching, arm pole is very long, construction site is very common. Crawler crane is used in municipal engineering, such as subway, bridge and so on.3, the tower crane jib with flat arm, arm, is mainly composed of steel frame. Crawler crane boom is mostly steel frame, similar to the tower crane boom.
