"Cropac Equipment, the official Terex Tower Cranes dealer for Eastern Canada, has supplied a CTT 472-20t flat-top tower crane for the construction of the 110-storey Pinnacle SkyTower in Toronto.

SkyTower, located on Toronto’s waterfront, is part of the landmark Pinnacle One Yonge development. It is the tallest residential building currently under development in Canada and one of the country’s most ambitious residential construction projects.

Joel Hunt, Senior Sales Representative, Cropac Equipment, said the company partnered with Premform, the project contractor, from the early stages of development by providing a lifting solution suited to the project’s schedule and height requirements.

Hunt added that a development of this scale requires lifting capacity, tower versatility and the ability to adapt to changing site conditions while maintaining high performance through each construction phase. As part of the supply package, Cropac also provided additional mast sections, tie-collars and related climbing components.

Using an anchoring system made of 16 internal ties, the crane was progressively climbed alongside the structure and reached a final height of 348 m.

Configured with a 55 m jib and a 6.24 tonne tip load, the CTT 472-20t is equipped with an 80 kW hoist and can lift at a maximum speed of 196 m per minute. This configuration provided the reach, lifting capacity and operational reliability needed for material handling operations through the project.

The Terex CTT 472-20t has supported the build over the past four years and is scheduled to be dismantled later in Q3 2026.

Part of the broader Pinnacle One Yonge master-planned community, SkyTower will include residential, hospitality and commercial spaces across 110 storeys, along with a Le Méridien hotel at the podium level."
