Extended information:

1. After the tower crane stops operating, you must choose a suitable position in the middle of the track that is free of obstacles and the arm is in the wind direction when the tower crane rotates, and lock it. Tighten all rail clamps.

2. Lift the hook to a position where the minimum distance from the lifting wall is no more than 5m. It is strictly prohibited to hang heavy objects on the hook. No method shall be used to restrict the rotation of the boom in the wind without taking reliable measures.

3. When the tower crane lifts heavy objects, it is not allowed to lift unstable heavy objects. It is strictly prohibited to attach heavy objects to the lifted objects. When lifting scattered materials or special-shaped components, they must be tied firmly with wire ropes and should be tied up first. Lift the heavy object about 50cm from the ground and stop. Make sure the brakes, material lashing and slings are correct before commanding to lift.

4. Tower cranes really developed after World War II. After the war, various countries were faced with the arduous task of rebuilding their homes. The huge amount of construction projects urgently required a large number of tower cranes with good performance.
