They are especially advantageous on construction sites with multiple cranes. Thanks to their luffing jib and small turning radius, swinging over neighboring properties, obstacles in general, or other cranes is avoided.

Customized crane solutions. As individual as your construction site.
Higher, faster, further? We make it possible: every construction site has its own challenges. When standard configurations reach their limits, our experts show what is possible and transform complex requirements into powerful crane solutions.
Do you need particularly high hook heights? Many of our tower cranes are climbable. This means that our crane experts can simply allow it to grow with your building during the construction process. This is a decisive advantage for high-rise projects in particular, as the requirements increase with each floor. Thanks to stable building anchorages, our cranes remain safe to use even at great heights. At BKL, you can hire exactly the construction site crane you need.
The right crane position for your construction site: a gantry creates free passageways and keeps traffic flowing. With foundation anchors or anchor frames, our top-slewing cranes can reach even extreme heights with optimum stability and minimal space requirements on the ground. Thanks to our selection of different tower systems, our crane experts can also provide you with solutions for the narrowest shafts in the building. And if you want your crane to remain mobile, we can place it on a rail-mounted chassis. This means that when you hire a construction crane from BKL, the crane adapts to your construction site. And not the other way around.
Planned by experts so that everything runs smoothly: Using CAD planning, our specialists will digitally design your crane concept down to the smallest detail if required. This allows you to see in advance how the crane solution consisting of one or more cranes will be optimally positioned and what outreach and lifting capacities will be achieved. This precise planning ensures a smooth process and saves time and costs on the construction site.
Which construction crane for which project?
Which building construction crane is best for you to hire for your project? Together we will find the construction crane that will move your construction site forward efficiently and economically. It’s not just technical data that counts, but also economic aspects and the individual conditions on site.
Bottom-slewing cranes are the all-rounders for small to medium-sized construction projects. They show their strengths in the construction of detached houses or smaller apartment buildings: they are quickly assembled, often without an additional mobile crane, and can be easily moved to the next construction site on transport axes. This makes them particularly economical for projects with frequent changes of location or shorter construction times.
Top-slewing cranes, on the other hand, are the first choice for large construction sites and ambitious building construction projects, as well as residential complexes or infrastructure projects. Here, only the jib and counter jib rotate while the tower remains stationary. They achieve a maximum radius of action with a minimum footprint. Their modular design allows them to be configured precisely to the requirements of your project – from the optimum hook height to the required radius and maximum lifting capacity. You can also hire this building construction crane for long-term projects, for example. This is because the higher initial investment for transport and assembly is amortized over the rental period, particularly in the case of longer downtimes. They really come into their own in industrial buildings where, for example, heavy precast concrete parts or steel beams have to be moved.
Luffing jib cranes are the specialists for special construction site situations. They demonstrate their unique advantages in the city center, when every square metre counts or overswing bans apply to neighbouring properties. Thanks to their luffing jib and minimal slewing radius, they work precisely even where several cranes have to be coordinated in a confined space. For particularly tall buildings, the variable jib angle enables optimum load distribution in every working position.
Our construction crane rental experts know the advantages and disadvantages of each crane type in detail and can advise you on the best solution for your project – both technically and economically.
