Because large does not have to be uneconomical.

WOLFFKRAN presents its first saddle jib crane in the 800 tm class at bauma 2022. 

As a pure 2-fall crane, the WOLFF 8076 Compact boasts an impressive maximum load capacity of 40 tonnes and a tip load capacity of 7.6 tonnes at 80 meters. This not only makes it the strongest WOLFF saddle jib crane, but also the best in its class.

Despite its enormous lifting capacity, the XXL crane impresses with a compact design and  economical assembly weights. This is made possible by the use of a low tower top and the 4-chord design of the first three jib sections.

Whether 100 meters freestanding or in a pack with other WOLFFs, the WOLFF 8076 Compact can do both. It features a 2.9-meter tower connection and a powerful 132 kW hoisting winch. The jib can be extended in 5-meter increments up to a 80 meters and the counter jib can be shortened from 30.3 to 22.3 meters depending on the jib length.

Rope specialist TROWIS and WOLFFKRAN are presenting the new chaRope high-performance fiber rope at bauma 2022. Compared to conventional synthetic crane ropes, it offers the advantage that it can be used 1:1 instead of a steel rope - without having to make any modifications to the crane.

This is made possible by the unique fiber composite design of the rope cover, consisting of an inner and a functionally different outer synthetic matrix, which embeds a fiber blend of high-strength and elastic fibers in each other. As a result, the rope cover is not only extremely abrasion-resistant but also significantly thinner than braided covers of conventional fiber ropes. In addition, the cover is monolithic, i.e. seamlessly impermeable. As a result, moisture can't penetrate through to the inside of the rope, nor can lubricants or fiber abrasions leak through to the outside.

For the market launch in August 2023, chaRope fiber ropes will be available with diameters of 12 and 16 millimeters and all WOLFF Clear cranes, the new WOLFF 21 FX cranes and the WOLFF 8033.16 Cross will be offered with either steel or fiber rope.

At bauma, the new chaRope® fiber rope is showcased on the new WOLFF 6021 FX.

New High-Speed-Positioning-System stops load sway.

It takes a lot of experience on the part of the crane operator to move a load without sway across the construction site and to set it down on the spot. Here, the new WOLFF High-Speed-Positioning-System offers support. With the electronic assistance system, the crane operator no longer controls the crane, whose movement causes the load to swing, but rather the load itself.

This is made possible by two battery-powered sensors attached to the trolley and the crane hook block. Connected to a control unit in the switch cabinet, these detect the movements of the rope and automatically adjust the movement and speed of the crane accordingly. Even loads already swinging can be brought to a standstill in this way.

The risk of accidents and damage caused by swaying loads is significantly reduced. The anti-collision system is also optimized, as not only the crane but also the load is automatically stopped within the working area limitation. In addition, the crane can be controlled much easier from the ground.

Daily live demonstration at the booth at 11:00, 13:30 and 15:30.
