[QUOTE=Dragon;16164052]From wikipedia "A tower crane is usually assembled by a telescopic jib (mobile) crane of greater reach (also see "self-erecting crane" below) and in the case of tower cranes that have risen while constructing very tall skyscrapers, a smaller crane (or derrick) will often be lifted to the roof of the completed tower to dismantle the tower crane afterwards." They use smaller cranes to assemble the bigger cranes :psyduck:[/QUOTE] i was going to be silly and say "with a crane lololol"
