How does a crane grow? If you're the right type of self-climbing crane, you can progress by lifting new mast sections (I'm stretching it by calling it necks in the title above) onto a platform attached to your climbing frame. In this image, taken by UrbanToronto Forum contributor wmedia on a foggy day in early March, a new section has already been lifted onto the climbing frame's platform. The frame, which supports the weight of everything above, is pressed onto the mast below, creating space to slide the section into place…
…and then the next section, already raised, finds a free space on the platform for it.
