Why do they make cranes so tall in Texas? In most places the cranes are a few floors above the top level of construction, then they raise them every so often. Seems dangerous. |
I think the reason this one is so tall is because the operator needs to be able to swing the crane around without running into anything. If you look at the Thompson, that tower crane is only a few floors above. It won't rise again until they get to the 10th floor.
