The tower crane is a very large mobile lifting machine designed to lift large loads. Tower cranes are used in construction, industrial and production applications (for example, assembling automobiles on a production line). Typical uses include building, bridge and heavy duty repair work, or any time that temporary access to a height is needed.

The operator controls all movements of the crane while it is in operation. The operator must be vigilant at all times and be able to rapidly assess situations and make decisions to ensure safe operations, prevent accidents, and avoid damage to equipment and property.
