Mobilecrane WK I

Typical challenges in heavy mechanical engineering

  • Handling heavy components (500-1000 kg): cast parts, machine frames, welded structures
  • Various workstations require crane support
  • High costs for several permanently installed crane systems
  • Ergonomic strain due to heavy lifting
  • Controlled positioning of heavy assemblies during assembly and processing
  • Flexible response to changing order situations

Why mobilecranes are the more economical solution

  • One crane for several stations: Higher capacity utilization instead of several permanently installed cranes
  • No foundation costs: immediate savings on foundation work and hall statics testing
  • Future-proof investment: the crane simply moves with you when the hall is converted or extended
  • Fast commissioning: no waiting times for foundation hardening or approvals
  • Flexible capacity: crane goes where it is currently needed

Technical advantages for heavy-duty applications

  • WK III with up to 1000kg load capacity: internal swivel support enables full 360° swivel range
  • Sturdy construction: Robust steel construction for long-term industrial use
  • Smooth-running control: ball-bearing carriage guide for smooth and therefore easy-to-control load movement
  • Dirt resistance: internal guide protects against chips and production dust
  • Optional counterweight: For optimum stability with maximum load capacity

Specific applications in heavy mechanical engineering

  • Tool handling: Moving heavy machining tools safely
  • Component handling: Positioning cast parts, welded constructions and machine frames
  • Machine set-up: handling tool changes, clamping fixtures and clamping plates
  • Assembly support: load handling during the assembly of various components in machine and plant construction
  • Maintenance and service: support with the installation and removal of heavy components during maintenance work

Economy through mobility

  • Higher capacity utilization: One crane for several workstations
  • No foundation costs: ready for immediate use without construction work
  • Future-proof: flexibly adaptable for conversions or extensions
  • Fast availability: use the crane where it is needed at the moment
  • Reduced downtimes: No waiting times for crane availability

Frequently asked questions about mobile cranes in heavy mechanical engineering

How stable is the WK III with a load capacity of 1000 kg?

The WK III has an internal swivel support and optional counterweight for maximum stability even at full load and 360° swivel range.

Can the crane switch between different stations every day?

Yes, with a hydraulic chassis, it is possible to move the machine several times a day without any problems. We recommend the hydraulic system for more than 2-3 relocations per month.

How quickly is the crane ready for use after delivery?

The crane is supplied in pre-assembled modules and can usually be installed by the company’s maintenance department. After acceptance by a qualified person (crane expert), it can be used immediately.

What configuration options are available?

You can use our configurator to customize the height, outreach, load capacity, chassis options and additional functions such as swivel range limitation.

How maintenance-intensive is the crane in continuous use?

Very low-maintenance thanks to the internal carriage guide, which is protected from chips and dirt. Regular visual inspections and legally prescribed intervals are sufficient.
