Abstract: Tower Cranes are extensively used for lifting materials in construction sites. Most construction sites are very confined and close to public due to which Tower crane accidents are not only hazard to workers at the site but also to pedestrians and residents residing in vicinity of the Tower Crane. The counter weight of the existing tower cranes are manually loaded and unloaded using calculations done on site by the engineers and then operated by the crane operator. This leads to numerous human errors and technical faults. Our project aims to minimize all the safety hazards of human and technical errors by implementation of automization and minimal human intervention. The idea is to modify the rear arm of the existing tower crane with a fixed counter weight in such a way that, when it detects load on the primary arm, it slides to and fro from the centre of gravity of the structure to keep the whole system in dynamic equilibrium.
