STT1830 will be the largest flat-top tower crane ever being used in the Singapore residential construction project, which the maximum jib length could reach 80m with 18.00tons tip load. Short jib length is more preferred in Singapore, for a 50m jib length, the tip load can reach 35.60tons, which suits well for the Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) construction.
With the implementation of the PPVC construction, and Singapore Housing & Development Board (HDB) looking to archive PPVC adoption rate to 35% in 2020 from the current 23%, there will be more demands for high capacity tower cranes.
