Building a home on a small, narrow lot may seem like an impossible task. With a narrow lot, builders must find a way to maximize the living space for future homeowners. While some may believe that it is impossible to find machinery to build a tall home, the height of the building doesn’t have to stop projects.
In addition to excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, and scaffolding, home builders building a tall home also must have cranes. Cranes are used to lift and move heavy materials used in buildings, such as steel beams and prefabricated modules.
For tall homes and buildings, a rough terrain crane is used. They are rugged, and in addition to moving heavy materials, rough terrain cranes are perfect for uneven or rough areas.
Rough terrain cranes in Illinois are typically enclosed and air-conditioned. They are operated by skilled and licensed crane operators who have received specialized training and certification. In addition to using a rough terrain crane safely and efficiently, operators must be able to read low charts, understand crane signals, and have a good understanding of the terrain and surrounding environment.
Aside from tall homes, rough terrain cranes are used for:
Towers
Rough terrain cranes are used to set up and take down tower cranes.
Structural Elements
Rough terrain cranes in Illinois have cranes to lift and place structural elements such as those needed in building or doing construction on a bridge.
Repairs
Repairing and maintaining infrastructure is completed easier with rough terrain cranes. Concrete segments and other heavy materials are moved with ease using rough terrain cranes in Illinois.
