The Annual Statistical Report 2008 gives a detailed insight into road accident data in up to 19 EU Member States (EU-15 and EU-20 without Germany).
This report serves as a reference document from which the broader public but also road safety experts are able to retrieve interesting data. The Annual Statistical Report 2007 covers accident data over the period 1997-2006.

INCIDENTS IDENTIFIED
86 incidents resulting in the collapse or major structural damage of the tower crane involved
were identified since 1999. Information concerning incidents prior to 1999 was found to be very
scarce and only 1 incident was identified from 1989 to 1999.
Based on the information obtained during the research the circumstances of each incident has
been categorised into seven different broad groups:
• Erection/Dismantling/Extending of the crane
• Extreme Weather
• Foundation Issues
• Mechanical or Structural Issues
• Misuse
• Electrical/Control System Issues
• Unknown Cause
The following lists all the incidents found during the research and states which of the groups
above they have been categorised as.
4.1 1989 INCIDENTS
4.1.1 San Fransisco
In November 1989 a Peiner luffing crane collapsed whilst being extended (or climbed). It is
believed that the climbing frame was binding on the mast section resulting in out of squareness
and unevenly applied loading. The collapse is reported to have occurred when the crane was
slewed with the separated mast section.
This incident has been categorised in the Erection/Dismantling/Extending group
2000 INCIDENTS
4.3.1 Bangkok, Thailand
In April 2000, a tower crane located on the 17th floor of a 38 storey building project reportedly
toppled and fell to the ground. No further details have been found.
This incident has been categorised in the Unknown causes group.
4.3.2 Singapore
On 11 April 2000, the jib of a luffing crane reportedly collapsed while being raised. The
manufacturer of the crane is unknown and the investigating authority was the Singapore
Ministry of Manpower. It is believed that the luffing hoist mechanism was “faulty” allowing the
luffing rope to “unwind from the winch”. The nature of the hoist fault has not been determined
in the research.
This incident has been categorised in the Mechanical or Structural group.
4.3.3 Canary Wharf, London, England
On 21 May 2000 a Wolff 320 B Luffing crane collapsed whilst the mast section was being
extended. The investigating authorities were the HSE. The exact causes of the incident were not
determined but issues of concern raised during the investigation included:
• Possible fatigue of the erection crew and the possibility of taking shortcuts or rushing
towards the end of the working day.
• Changes in wind speed and direction whilst the crane was supported on the climbing
frame.
• The securing of the single hydraulic cylinder of the climbing frame with the mast
section.
This incident has been categorised in the Erection/Dismantling/Extending group.
On 15 May 2004 a tower crane collapsed. A photograph from “craneaccidents.com” shows that
the mast section was short in comparison to the building and has what appears to be a climbing
frame positioned at the top. An article from Gulf Daily News suggests that the crane was being
dismantled at the time of collapse and had been reduced to a height of 12 m from the original 54
m. This is consistent with the photograph.
This incident has been categorised in the Erection/Dismantling/Extending group.
The photograph showing this crane is shown Figure 9.
4.7.3 Cardiff, Wales
On 9 July 2004 the jib of a Raimondi LR60 luffing crane was severely damaged by strong
winds and was blown back over the ‘A’ frame.
The investigation authorities were the HSE. During the investigation it was found that the
mechanical slew motor brake had two faults. The setting mechanism was faulty such that it
could slip leading to the brake being unknowingly applied and that the applied braking torque
was approximately ¼ of that specified.
This incident has been categorised in the Extreme Weather group.
