LUFFING-JIB TOWER CRANE
Luffing-Jib Tower Cranes for Restricted Construction Sites
Luffing jib tower cranes are designed for projects where limited space, nearby buildings or restricted airspace make the use of a conventional horizontal-jib crane difficult. Instead of moving a trolley along a fixed horizontal jib, a luffing crane raises and lowers its jib to change the working radius. This allows the crane to operate within a compact area while maintaining the lifting performance required for complex construction work.
Explore our catalogue of luffing jib tower cranes for sale and compare models by maximum lifting capacity, jib length, tip load, hook height and working radius. Our team can help you identify a suitable crane configuration based on your site layout and lifting requirements.

Where Are Luffing Tower Cranes Used?
Luffing jib tower cranes are commonly used for high-rise buildings, city-centre developments, industrial facilities, infrastructure projects and construction sites surrounded by roads or occupied properties. They are also suitable for projects where several tower cranes must work within overlapping areas.
Typical lifting tasks include handling reinforcement steel, concrete formwork, precast elements, structural components, mechanical equipment and general building materials. The appropriate crane model depends on the weight of these loads and the radius at which they must be lifted.

How to Choose a Luffing Jib Tower Crane
Choosing a tower crane requires more than comparing maximum lifting capacities. The crane must be able to lift the required load at the necessary radius while remaining within the site’s operating restrictions.
Important specifications to consider include:
Choosing a tower crane requires more than comparing maximum lifting capacities. The crane must be able to lift the required load at the necessary radius while remaining within the site’s operating restrictions.
Important specifications to consider include:
- Maximum lifting capacity
- Load capacity at maximum radius
- Minimum and maximum working radius
- Available jib lengths and configurations
- Maximum and minimum jib angles
- Free-standing and maximum hook height
- Hoisting and luffing speeds
- Out-of-service radius
- Mast section dimensions
- Power supply requirements
- Foundation and anchoring options
Luffing Jib Tower Cranes for High-Rise Construction
High-rise projects often require cranes that can achieve substantial hook heights while operating within a limited horizontal area. A luffing jib crane can raise its jib to work close to the tower and lower it when a longer reach is required.
As the building rises, the crane may be tied to the structure and climbed according to the approved crane configuration and project plan. The selected climbing method, tie-in arrangement and foundation design must be determined by qualified engineering specialists.
