Posted By VIJAYANAND T R Dear friends, We have a potain tower crane which is being used in our construction project. The present height of the tower crane is 40 Meters and expected to grow upto 70 meters. The troule is now how it is has to be anchored to the building nearby. The crane doesnt have a manual now because it is discontinued model from the manufacturer, Experts pl comment on suggestion for tieing methods of tower crane to the building.

Posted By tom boland You will need loadings from tower crane from manufacturer Even though model is discontinued, Potain, now part of manitowoc, should be able to give you the information required. They should also be able to supply details of tying brackets to building, which will ideally be adjustable. It would be unwise to carry out any works without information from manufacturer. In addition, there must be a manual available for the crane, otherwise erectors could not erect the crane
