Posted By tom boland What would be the minimum vertical distance between two tower cranes oversailing one another. Is it permitted for higher crane to lift a load over the other? Or is it acceptable to allow sufficient clearance to allow empty hook to slew over the other?

Posted By Robert K Lewis Tom In general this sort of thing has to be carefully considered - You need a good lifting co-ordinator to resolve this. With two tower cranes this is essential in any case. I generally expect to see lock outs to prevent the travel except under very controlled situations, ie NOT ROUTINE Bob
