The strong global demand for large cranes has been shaping Wolffkran<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s product development strategy for years and is also reflected in the exhibits at this year\u2019s bauma. The five-member bauma pack is completed by a powerful new luffing jib crane: the WOLFF 550 B. It stands out for its high lifting capacity and flexibility. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers are increasingly requesting cranes in the 500 to 600 mt range for infrastructure projects, industrial plants, and data centers. Despite a weak economic outlook, there is still a lot of construction happening in these sectors,\u201d says Mohamed Abouelezz, Head of Business Development and Product Management. \u201cThat’s why we decided to launch a new, powerful luffing jib crane that strategically enhances our product portfolio between the proven WOLFF 355 B and the WOLFF 630 B.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Premier\u0103Unrivaled strength
\nInitially, the WOLFF 550 B will be launched with a 110-kW hoist winch, enabling a maximum lifting capacity of 30 tons in two-fall operation and 15 tons in single-fall mode. At the top of its maximum 65-meter jib, it can lift 5.0 tons. \u201cThese lifting capacities are market-leading in this crane class,\u201d says Abouelezz. \u201cBy the end of the year, we’ll be raising the bar even further by offering the 550 B with a more powerful hoist winch, with which the luffing jib crane can lift up to 36 tons in two-fall operation. Additionally, there will be a US version with a 132-kW hoist winch.\u201d <\/p>\n

Fast lifting, fast climbing
\nThe WOLFF 550 B offers a hook path of 920 meters (single-fall) or 460 meters (two-fall) and a lifting speed of up to 200 meters per minute. It comes standard with a 2.3-meter tower connection, allowing freestanding heights of nearly 52 meters. When mounted on a 2.9-meter tower, it can reach up to 82.2 meters without additional support, making it an excellent choice for high-rise projects. <\/p>\n

Moreover, the WOLFF 550 B is perfectly compatible with Wolffkran\u2019s KSH 23 internal climbing frame<\/strong> (see video below<\/em>), enabling the crane to climb nearly 27 meters in a single phase \u2013 significantly more than the 15.5 achieved by the standard climbing system. The KSH 23 reduces time considerably and lowers costs. <\/p>\n

Flexible, down to the tiniest details
\nThe new WOLFF luffing jib crane becomes fully suitable for high-rise construction thanks to the Flex Cab cabin, which can be mounted either on the right or left side of the crane. What was previously only available as a special customer request is now standard equipment on the WOLFF 550 B. \u201cWe listen closely to what our customers want,\u201d says Abouelezz. \u201cIt might seem trivial which side the crane cabin is on, but in day-to-day construction, such details can make a difference.\u201d The flexibly mountable cabin simplifies construction site planning and is particularly beneficial for cranes that need to be climbed down after construction. <\/p>\n

In addition to numerous new products, there will be another premiere at the Wolffkran bauma booth: To demonstrate the Flex Cab, the WOLFF 550 B will become the first crane showcased with two cabins. The new luffing jib crane will be available for order starting in June and is expected to be launched in Europe, the US, and the Middle East later this year.<\/p>\n
