Tower crane, studio render

Assembly · Tower cranes and lifting

Tower crane

This tower crane is assembled from 17 placed parts using 10 unique component models, so it is a light file to load whole. The vertical structure is one tower base with four tower mast sections, topped by a single slew. On the working side sit three jib sections and a jib tip, with a trolley, one hoist line and a hook block. The counterjib carries three separate ballast blocks.

Because every section is its own model, the mast height and jib length are a matter of how many sections the assembly file places. You can load it unchanged or read the placements and add or remove mast and jib sections.

It is one of three rigs in the Tower cranes and lifting pack, alongside the material hoist with lifting loads and the mobile crane.

An assembly from the Tower cranes and lifting pack: 17 placed parts positioned by an assembly file, using 10 unique component models. Load the whole thing with the pack's three.js loader, or read the file to build your own variations.

The picture is a studio render. View in 3D loads the GLB files themselves in three.js; switch between high, medium and low to compare.

This scene on its own: the assembly file and the 10 models it places, each in high, medium and low detail, plus the three.js loader and a working example (4.0 MB zip).
