Luffing jib tower crane VS level jib tower crane

Luffing jib tower crane and level jib tower crane are two kinds of common models. Both models are widely used but they differ in their structure, operating principle, and application field.

Luffing jib tower crane is mainly used in large projects and industrial equipment installing fields where large lifting capacity, high perching accuracy, and high safety are required for lifting large members and equipment components.

The level jib tower crane is mainly used in the common civil building fields where fast lifting and inaccurate perching are required for lifting building materials. Both models have advantages and disadvantages in different application fields, therefore we can plan a key role in determining which model should be selected.

As the above comparison, luffing tower crane has a great advantage over level jib tower crane in the power station construction field, which has been confirmed by hundreds of power stations construction. The level jib tower crane is widely used in plant construction of power stations as an auxiliary tool while luffing jib tower crane definitely predominates in boiler lifting.
