All parts of this model can be downloaded from one list on my blog but you have to be logged on GRABCAD as I used files uploaded here to make links on my blog. I think it is easier to use that list then to open files here one by one. Just scroll to bottom of the blog page:

This is unfinished 3D model of Tower Crane, I designed as much as I could just by looking at images of tower cranes on internet. I over dimensioned most of model, as at first i had idea to try to make it in plastic. Most of cable work is unfinished as I do not have enough info about cable system. If anyone have informations that I need to finish this design, please contact me.

NOTE: Image of explode of assembly with part names on it is uploaded with assembly part.
NOTE: In this design I didn't use real profile dimensions for steel beams, but in .prt files profile dimensions are editable in sketches.
NOTE: Design is based ONLY on photos of tower cranes i found on internet so do not take it seriously.
