2023-04-17

What are the best machines to handle men and materials when building tall?
“We use equipment such as high-rise table lifting systems, tower cranes, scissor lifts, man material hoist lifts and construction lifts to carry massive bundles of steel, cement, tiles and other construction material on high-rise construction sites,” says Navin Raheja, MD & CMD, Raheja Developers.

According to Pratik Kataria, Director, Sainath Developers The House of Kataria, his teams deploy tower cranes, elevators and material hoists to move men and materials vertically, and conveyor belts to move materials horizontally. With this equipment, materials can be moved to high altitudes swiftly and securely.

“We choose from tower cranes (free-standing/anchored, floor climbing, self-dismantling), passenger/material hoists, scissor lifts, service lifts, man lifts, jump forms for core walls, curve hoists, rope suspending platforms and concrete pumps,” says K Satyanarayana, Managing Director, Starworth Infrastructure and Construction Limited (SICL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Puravankara Ltd. “Our choice of equipment depends on the specific needs of the project, implying the type of building, its height, the cost viability and duration of the project. We also consider the safety requirements, including visibility of operations by the operator, automation, and safety locking limits.”

“We use tower cranes, hoists, scissor lifts, high-rise table lifting systems and construction lifts to handle materials when we construct tall buildings, depending on the specific needs of the project,” adds Anoop Kumar Bhargava, CEO & Director, Empire Centrum.

“To lift and shift construction materials like reinforcement and concrete at higher levels, we use tower cranes (jumping crane, hammerhead crane, self-climbing mast type, monkey crane, luffing), concrete pumps and concrete pipe lines, boom placers, man material hoists, stirrup making machines, binding wire tying machines, window cradles, construction suspended cradles and screens,” says Madan Mistry, Head - EPC, Omkar Realtors & Developers...
