Tower Crane Assist
Tower crane assist services designed to reduce downtime, relieve congestion, and keep commercial construction sites progressing when tower cranes become a scheduling or access constraint.
This service supports live sites by handling auxiliary lifts, overflow work, and time-critical tasks that would otherwise slow the program or interrupt sequencing.
When Tower Crane Assist Is the Right Solution
Tower cranes are efficient, but they are also a single point of failure. When demand exceeds availability, progress stalls.
Tower crane assist is used when:
-
The tower crane is overbooked or unavailable
-
Certain lifts fall outside the tower crane’s working radius
-
Smaller or short-duration lifts are blocking critical operations
-
Peak construction stages create lift congestion
-
Program delays carry real cost
If the site relies solely on the tower crane, this service adds flexibility without disrupting workflow.
What Tower Crane Assist Actually Does
This service is not about adding more lifting for the sake of it. It’s about protecting the build sequence.
Tower crane assist improves site flow by:
-
Offloading non-critical or auxiliary lifts from the tower crane
-
Handling short, opportunistic lifts that don’t justify tower time
-
Supporting façade, mechanical, and material handling works
-
Allowing multiple trades to work simultaneously
-
Reducing stoppages during peak construction periods
The result is fewer bottlenecks and more predictable progress.
Typical Tower Crane Assist Applications
Tower crane assist is commonly used on:
Commercial & high-rise projects
-
Material handling outside tower crane reach
-
Mechanical and façade support lifts
-
Temporary works and site setup
-
Short-duration lifts during high-demand periods
Program-critical stages
-
Trade overlap phases
-
Tower crane maintenance or restricted use
-
Staggered deliveries requiring fast placement
Each assist plan is tailored to the site layout, crane positions, and construction schedule.
Planning, Permits & Live-Site Coordination
Additional cranes only add value when they are integrated properly.
Every tower crane assist job includes:
-
Coordination with site management and crane supervisors
-
Lift planning aligned with site sequencing
-
Traffic management and exclusion zones where required
-
Permit and authority coordination for public interfaces
This ensures assist cranes improve productivity rather than creating congestion or safety conflicts.
Why Tower Crane Assist Is Not “Just Another Crane”
Adding a crane without a plan often creates more problems than it solves.
This service works because:
-
Lifts are selected strategically, not randomly
-
Crane size and positioning are chosen to avoid site congestion
-
Timing is coordinated around tower crane demand
-
The focus is continuity, not duplication
Used correctly, tower crane assist prevents downtime rather than reacting to it.
