Self-Erecting Tower Crane Rental
Self-Erecting Tower Crane Rental
A self-erecting tower crane folds out of its own trailer on site, raises its mast and jib without a second crane, and stays put for the length of the build — useful when a lift has to repeat at the same radius for weeks rather than once.

How it works
Self-Erecting Tower Crane Rental
Self-erecting tower cranes suit repeat lifts at a fixed point — truss packages, block, formwork and panel sets on low-rise builds around Woodstock. The crane arrives on its own trailer, unfolds on a prepared pad and needs no assist crane to erect. It stays on site for the duration of that phase, so the same radius is served every day.
Self-erecting tower crane supply, delivery, erection on a prepared pad, ballast and tie-in coordination, operator, and dismantle at the end of the phase. Suited to low-rise residential, additions, truss and framing packages, and small commercial builds where the lift point stays fixed.
A mobile crane works when a lift happens once. When the same pick repeats daily at the same spot, mobilising a carrier crane each morning costs more time than the lift itself. A self-erecting tower crane is set once and left in place, so the crew calls the lift when they are ready rather than waiting on a booked machine.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A self-erecting tower crane arrives folded on its own trailer and uses hydraulic rams to raise the mast and jib once it is on its pad. No second crane is needed for the erection, which is why it can be set up on sites where a carrier crane cannot reach.
It makes sense when the same lift repeats at the same radius over several days or weeks. A mobile crane is mobilised per visit; a self-erecting tower is set once and stays, so the crew lifts on their own schedule instead of waiting on a booked machine.
It needs a level, prepared pad sized to the crane's footprint and ballast, plus a clear path for the delivery trailer. We confirm the pad and the approach before the machine is booked so the erection is not held up on the day.
It stays for the phase it was booked for — typically the truss, framing or panel stage of a build. The duration is agreed up front so the pad and the site programme are planned around it.
Yes, on lots with room for the pad and the delivery trailer. The footprint is smaller than a carrier crane's outrigger spread, which is often what makes it work on a tight residential site.
An operator runs the crane through the phase and works to the crew's lift schedule. The crew signals the pick and the operator works to the load chart for the set radius.
