Generally, there’s no problem. What is the wall thickness?
No problem – a support can be made at the skirt area, with rollers used in the lower part, at the upper section of the crane tower.
What is the tonnage of the crane? Is it equipped with traction? What are the effective arm length and torque of the crane?
Ask the lifting company; generally, it depends on the space available for your crane, as well as the tonnage. For a single piece of equipment, two cranes are usually used – one for lifting and another smaller one for guiding the load
The crane and other equipment haven’t been decided yet; it mainly depends on whether it’s feasible. We’re just gathering information, as we don’t have any previous experience with installing towers or similar things.
