Austin’s housing demand is pushing development upward — and smarter. As zoning reforms and affordability goals drive more mid-rise housing in Austin, developers are turning to efficient, compact builds on infill lots.
McDonough’s self-erecting tower cranes, like the Liebherr 125 K, are built for this shift — pairing perfectly with efficient construction methods like light steel and panelized framing.
Why It Works for Today’s Builds
Prefab-Ready Performance
Fly sheathing, trusses, and light steel with ease. The 125 K delivers power and precision — ideal for cranes for prefab construction.
Fast Setup, No Mobile Needed
Install in a day. Cut delays and reduce reliance on third-party equipment.
Quiet and Clean
Electric-powered for low noise and zero emissions — perfect for sustainable urban building.
Designed for Tight, Urban Sites
A compact footprint, luffing jib, and 360° slew make it ideal for constrained jobsites and aggressive schedules.
