Self-Erecting tower cranes fill a gap in the market between telescopic handlers and large tower cranes, and are becoming increasingly popular due to their unique ability to fold away reducing over-sail issues, their quietness in operation which contributes to ‘Considerate Construction’ schemes and a minimal footprint enables them to provide a valuable solution on restricted space developments particularly on urban developments.

Our MC range of top slewing tower cranes maintain the pedestrian operator benefits of the SETC as a cab based driver is not required, This crane is ideally suited for smaller projects as it has the benefit of a 1.2m x 1.2m mast section for smaller lift shafts however still operates as a conventional tower crane with increased lifting weights.
