At the limits

摘要

Cranes whose lifting power was celebrated as sensational 20 years ago are now rather more like toothpicks. There are obviously a lot fewer boundaries on the way up than previously thought. Without new ideas and cranes to do the hoisting there would be no progress in the wind power sector. This is not just the case for the installation of ever-larger wind farms or new hub heights. Additional orders are being generated for crane manufacturers by an increase in automa-tion. Not only overhead gantries for modern assem-bly lines are required here but also solutions for quick transportation during manufacturing, unloading or in storage.
