The current large volume of construction, and the new building methods, including large scale préfabrication, have made it necessary to develop adequate machinery to cope with the new requirements. These include the quick distribution of materials and the lifting of large and heavy items. One of these machines which has now attained a widespread use is the tower crane, both of the fixed and moveable type, either on tyres, rails, or of the climbing type. Although these cranes have been known for the last fifty years, their full development only began after the last World War. Their most usual features and varieties make it possible to classify these cranes in a table, which includes most of the models now in standard use.
