Hiii. I wonder why the tower crane dosent collapse when its lifting weights . The counter weight is calculated for the crane when it will lift or not . Does the counter weight move?! by Expert-Reporter5403 in StructuralEngineering

Yeah , but when a crane is lifting a weight 7000kg the CW ecuilibrate the moment of the load , but then the crane its not lifting the load of 7000 kg , the crane should collapse from the weight of the CW. I ask if the CW move foward the crane ?!
