WOLFF cranes building blue quarters in Flanders

A set of eight WOLFF cranes is put on job at the construction of the ?Blue Boulevard? in the marina of Hasselt. These cranes set up by the contractor STRABAG Belgium NV ensure that building materials get moved from A to B on this construction site in the capital of the Belgian province Limburg. Fast installations and precisely coordinated tower heights provide for a smooth construction progress despite confined space conditions.

All eight WOLFF 6015, 6023 and 6031 tower cranes are flat top cranes from the WOLFF clear series. ?We chose these cranes because they have fewer components and are quicker to assemble than other crane types,? explains Dave De Keyser, Managing Director of STRABAG BMTI BVBA, the service company of STRABAG Belgium NV. In addition, the maximum load capacities of the cranes from 8.5 to 12 tons optimally meet the requirements on the construction site, such as the handling of reinforcing steel mesh and concrete skips. With tower heights from 46.1 to 73.5 m and jib lengths between 50 and 60 m, the WOLFF cranes slew effortlessly below each other and do not get in each other?s way when lifting formwork elements and precast concrete components.
