1. The lower slewing tower crane sets the slewing bearing and the main mechanism of the balance weight at the lower end. The advantages of the tower crane are: less bending moment, low center of gravity, good stability, convenient installation and maintenance. The disadvantages of the tower crane are high requirements for the slewing bearing and limited installation height.
2. The upper slewing tower crane sets the slewing bearing, balance weight and main mechanism at the upper end. The advantage is that the lower structure of the tower body can be simplified and the jacking joint is convenient because the tower body does not rotate. Disadvantages: when the building exceeds the height of the tower body, due to the influence of the balance arm, the rotation of the tower crane is limited. At the same time, the center of gravity is high, the wind pressure increases, and the pressure weight increases, so that the total weight of the whole machine increases.
