Tower Crane
Tower cranes are commonly used in the construction of tall buildings and are attached to various floors as the building rises. They are unique as they have the ability to climb the building as it rises. Tower cranes can add their own tower sections when equipped with a climber section. The climber allows the crane to jack the tower up enough to add 1 section of tower per move.
The climber section also gives the crane the ability to lower its self-back down the side of a building once the building is completed. Once it is at a lower elevation a mobile crane can disassemble the crane and load it out until it is gone as if it was never there.
