Pinetop Custom Homes builds 50% fasterWe are able to build houses 50% faster with the self-erecting tower cranes than with other types of equipment. They’re also easier to get to the jobsite. They have axles underneath, so you can just pull them onto the site. They’re silent, don’t produce exhaust fumes, and with their remote-control operation, they really increase visibility, safety and precision picking. Read More
We have found a more profitable way to buildWith a smaller footprint, they can easily move around and provide a nice X:Y grid over the entire construction site. We're not limited by where a forklift may be able to drive, the incline it can make or whether it can safely lift a load. Self-erecting tower cranes are a great tool to get around a jobsite, and as operators become more familiar, comfortable and confident behind the controls, then you'll start seeing these cranes on every job.

Put A Self-Erecting Tower Crane To Work For You.
Masonry
Lift masonry blocks exactly where they are needed. This eliminates the need for maneuvering a telehandler, especially where space is limited or there’s no roadway access.
Concrete
Move the concrete bucket attachment directly to where the concrete needs to be poured. This reduces the amount of manual labor required and allows access to more than a wheelbarrow of concrete at a time.
Flooring
The self-erecting crane can efficiently lift, set, and stabilize floor joists on every level of the house and dramatically reduce the amount of manual labor needed on the job.
Walls
Lift prefabricated wall sections from the truck directly to the wall’s location. The tower crane’s lift capacity allows contractors to prefabricate walls in a controlled environment and have the crane directly offload them from the truck and into position.
Trusses and Roofing
Deliver assembled roof trusses to the jobsite and lift them into place. Move sheetrock and roofing materials directly to the roof location where the installation crew is working.
Hardscaping
Use a hopper attachment to move materials around the jobsite. Move more items at once and at a quicker pace, without wasting spilled materials.
