In the tightest of corners, in a prime location – WOLFF 166 B in use at the Maximiliansplatz, Munich
Munich - July 2014 Sky rocketing property prices for years on end have not detracted from the popularity of Munich's old town. New living and work areas are in demand like never before. A new office building is currently being built in an exclusive setting on the heritage-listed Maximiliansplatz. The building was fully leased even before construction began in 2013. The general contractor, Riedel Bau GmbH & Co. KG from Lower Franconia, rented one of WOLFFKRAN’s most modern cranes for the construction of the building shell: the WOLFF 166 B with hydraulic luffing gear.
(industrietreff) - The luffing crane impresses on this city construction site mainly because of its compactness. "The site is very cramped on all sides," explains Ulrich Langenbein, Deputy Sales Director at WOLFFKRAN Germany, regarding the biggest challenge of the project. "With construction work underway on adjacent sites, there are cranes all over the place that we have to watch out for," continues Mr. Langenbein. In addition to its flat-top design that does away with the traditional rope luffing gear and its compact steel counterweights, the biggest advantage of the 166 B is its jib, which can be raised to an almost vertical position. "Because of its design, the WOLFF can slew in the minimum of space without projecting beyond the site, meaning that we can work without any danger of collision. There is also no danger when the crane is not in use owing to the very steep out-of-service position of the jib," says Norbert Zährl, Site Manager for Riedel Bau. The construction company from Schweinfurt has five WOLFF cranes in its fleet and has been a convinced customer of the Heilbronn premium manufacturer for many years.
Space saving, full performance
Despite its compactness, the WOLFF delivers a remarkable performance when it comes to lifting of concrete and structural components at the Munich site: It has a maximum lifting capacity of 12 tons in the 2-fall operation, a tip load capacity of 3.4 tons with a 45 meter jib and a maximum lifting speed of 87 m/min. The load-sensing control of the luffing gear regulates the luffing speed according to the load. So the 166 B only needs a comparably small 22 kW motor to reach a luffing time of 90 seconds.
The 166 B scores further points on the city-center building site when it comes to the assembly. The hoist rope winch is designed so that the complete jib can be easily pre-assembled on the ground. The luffing crane could also be erected on a lower tower height than would have been the case with a saddle jib crane, which saved additional time. Earlier this year, the construction site team erected the WOLFF 166 B in just one day – yet another plus given the tight schedule of the construction project, which is due for completion at the beginning of 2015.
