ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for constructing a block tower for a suspension bridge includes a working platform, means for raising and lowering the platform vertically along a pre-erected base of the tower, and a carriage movable horizontally on tracks on the working platform. The carriage moves between a block loading station lateral of the base and a block unloading station above the top of the tower base where the block is superimposed on other blocks of the pre-erected base. The carriage is specially designed to raise and lower the lower block and to disengage the same at the block unloading station for return to the block loading station. A method is also disclosed for constructing a tower of built-up blocks.
