5 WOLFFKRAN. The leader of the pack. WOLFFKRAN is the first choice in tower cranes worldwide. Finest engineering, quality steel construction made in Germany and an intelligent product range are the basis for this prominent market position. The 160-year success story of the leader of the pack continues to date. New, pioneering crane models fitted with state of the art technology set industry standards and convince our globally active customer base of the strength and efficiency of the red giants from Heilbronn. Together, we rise to new heights. Dr. Peter Schiefer, CEO 5

6 WOLFFKRAN. On top. Where there s a WOLFF, there s a way and with WOLFFKRAN, that way is always up. Its extensive list of innovations and references are testimony of the fact that WOLFFKRAN is the technological leader in the tower crane business. Whenever demanding construction projects call for efficient realization, a WOLFF comes into play. Tried and tested trolley jib cranes, spacesaving and efficient luffing jib cranes, easy to assemble flat-top clear cranes and extremely powerful XXL cranes, paired with a highly competent technical support and service logistics, distinguish WOLFFKRAN and make it the right choice for every building site. Project and site managers throughout the world know this and put their trust in the cranesational technology and service of WOLFFKRAN. WOLFF cross WOLFF clear WOLFF LUFFERS S - XXL

11 It s a WOLFF s world. Just as the technology of today knows no boundaries, the construction industry has become just as global. WOLFFKRAN has not only recognized this early on, but considerably helped to shape this trend. An extensive network of branch offices, alongside the constant set-up and development of close international partnerships, ensures that WOLFFKRAN is always in your vicinity. The striking red WOLFF cranes distinguish the face of modern construction sites around the world: in Central Europe just as much as in Great Britain and Scandinavia in the countries of the Middle East as in Asia, Africa, Australia and North America. We drive and focus our worldwide activities for more efficiency and safety in the construction industry from our international headquarters in the Swiss Canton Zug.

12 Made in Germany. A tour of our production lines in Heilbronn or Luckau show: man and machine work together, hand in hand. WOLFFKRAN s long tradition in the crane manufacturing industry stands for its worldwide unparalleled know-how. As for example in our unique welding shop, which is characterized by highest-precision craftsmanship. The same applies to the drilling machines, where the WOLFF giants with an accuracy of 5/100 mm (the thickness of a human hair!) receive the boreholes for their typical pin connections. Alongside steel construction, the field of electrical engineering is becoming increasingly important. For this reason, WOLFFKRAN fits all its switch cabinets with the highly reliable and precise electronic PROFIBUS controls only. Finally in the paint shop, the cranes receive their typical WOLFF red color one of our trademarks with our very own clean, lead-free mixture made especially for WOLFFKRAN. Before setting of on their journey to construction sites around the world, all new WOLFF cranes are subjected to rigorous tests for functionality and a final inspection in our stockyards outside of the production halls.

17 Cranesational since The stories about and around WOLFFKRAN and its many innovations easily fill an entire museum of technology. Originally founded as an iron foundry in Heilbronn, the company WOLFF soon began to concentrate on lifting and hoisting devices. In 1913 WOLFF then sets a decisive milestone: it presents the world s first fast-assembly, mobile, top-slewing tower crane at the Leipzig Exhibition. This crane type quickly shapes the construction sites of its time its modular construction and its enormous flexibility and tremendous lifting capacity make it the ideal construction machine. Thus WOLFFKRAN helped to build the face of the modern era: the main station in Milan, the Aswan Dam, the Säntis Station in Switzerland, the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, De Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the Wembley Stadium in London, Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong, 3 World Trade Center in New York as well as numerous large scale projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia the list is long and fascinating. And every single day, together with our customers, we take that era one step further. FIRST TOWER CRANE 1913 RED GIANTS FROM HEILBRONN HIGHLIGHTS SPECIALISTS

18 Night and day. Whether it is morning, noon or night as you read these words, somewhere in the world, a WOLFF is at work, efficiently and reliably lifting loads and ensuring the timely progression of the construction job. Construction projects are increasingly under time pressures, deadlines from planning to building start to completion are becoming ever tighter. WOLFFKRAN knows this and consistently gears its services accordingly. Our technical support department offers uncomplicated and fast assistance for demanding construction projects, our extensive own rental fleet complements and bridges shortages of our customers fleets. The experienced WOLFFKRAN service teams ensure safe and efficient assembly also, and in particular, in complicated situations such as tight city sites, when climbing a crane, or when assembly with a helicopter is necessary in rough terrain. The leader of the pack can go anywhere. SITE PLANNING EXPERIENCED SERVICE TEAMS CRANE SALES AND RENTALS

23 Patents and passion. With which crane technology will we be constructing the houses, factories, building complexes and cities of the future? How can the crane the hub of the construction site be intelligently linked with other construction machines to form a multifunctional job site center? Which new materials are lightweight, but suitable for lifting heavy loads? How can digital, online based, applications support workflows and make them safer? Designers and engineers at WOLFFKRAN ask themselves these questions and driven by the challenge to find answers develop with passion the WOLFF of tomorrow. In its own WOLFF lab, the WOLFF team therefore even networks with leading universities and research institutions. The compact flat-top WOLFF clear cranes, the new generation of WOLFF luffing jib cranes with their patented design of the counterjib, or the latest luffers with a hydraulic luffing system lead the way: intelligent technology to meet the demands of the construction site of tomorrow. The crane of the future will be a WOLFFKRAN a real high flyer. NETWORKING WOLFF LAB CUSTOMIZING

24 Cranesational information. The better a project is planned, the more efficient assembly and service are, the more familiar a crane operator is with his WOLFF, the more cost-effectively the construction project will be carried out. WOLFFKRAN offers all stakeholders comprehensive and thorough support. Project planners will find encompassing technical information and CAD data of all our crane models on our internet portal wolffkran.com. Alternatively they can opt to configure cranes directly online by using our crane configurator. In case tailored solutions are required, our technical support department will be ready to assist. Assemblers and service technicians from across the world can enhance their knowledge and skills in assembly, climbing and electrical engineering in the WOLFF School of Cranes.
