The first WOLFF 235 B in the UK

It is the first time that the new WOLFF 235 B crane has been seen in the UK, standing at a staggering 98m tall and fitted with a 45m jib. What makes it even more impressive is that it needed to be free-standing, so as not to slow down construction by tying to the building.

why was free standing height required, and was it necessary initially?

[@chrisshaw3368]

and what is the spool on the counter weights for?

[@wolffkranofficial]

Hi Chris, the free-standing height was required as our Customer didn’t want to have any brackets on the building for the tie legs. It was erected to full height as the Customer has a tight program so didn’t want there to be any climbing time at a later date.

Hi Chris, this is a WOLFF service crane

1) wolffkran are reliable cranes;
2) city lifting got a few of them in London;
3) don’t think a mast alteration on a weekend will delay badly the program of a project. It’s all about the money. :)
