How it works - Shipyards

Our shipyard application solution works by utilising and, if required, adapting our standard range of tower cranes, placed on a moveable and fully adjustable base to meet the dynamic challenges faced in the shipyard.

A strong base for all situations: our experienced team of engineers will work with you to create the perfect solution for your shipyard, our customised bases can be specified for any track width and adapted to match your exact lifting capacity requirements. Giving you all the power and performance that are the trademarks of WOLFFKRAN cranes.

Using all of the advanced WOLFFKRAN modular components our cranes can then adapt to any requirements in terms of height, reach and capacity
and come in two model variants:

Trolley Jib – The classical design allows
for high cycle speeds and greater jib radius

Luffing jib – offering maximum power and
efficiency in space restricted situations

Environmental care and protection

WOLFFKRAN is committed to minimising impact on the environment wherever it can:

Power optimisation and control features improve the environmental credentials of our electrically operated tower cranes.
A frequency converter regulates all drives, making our cranes more energy efficient than conventional electric cranes or diesel-powered cranes.
Hoisting and luffing gear can achieve high working speeds because power output is automatically adjusted so that full power is available at all times, increasing working speeds by up to 40 %.
For cranes fitted with hydraulic luffing drives, the system uses sensors to supply optimal oil levels for peak performance, thereby reducing the need for a large, energy hungry motor.
