Free-Standing Lattice Tower Self-Climbing Frame

Innovative solutions have always been one of our core values at Specialised Concrete Pumping. SCP recently designed and developed a lattice tower self-climbing frame that enables SCP to self-climb any of SCP’s separate placing boom models.

Typically, free-standing placing booms that are installed on lattice towers have to be removed before climbing. Additional lattice towers are added and the placing boom is re-installed. SCP recently designed, manufactured and put into use a custom adaptor that utilises a lattice tower climbing frame to self-climb placing booms installed on the free-standing lattice tower systems.

Benefits of this system are:

  • Reduced time for climbing required
  • Reduced crane time required for climbing
  • Climbing operation is self-sufficient and only requires the crane to lift lattice towers on to the climbing frame
  • Complete a concrete pour and climb the placing boom in the same day resulting in programme savings
  • Does not require slabs to support the placing boom while climbing

SCP would be please to discuss the advantages and efficiencies a self-climbing, free-standing lattice tower system can provide on your next project.
