And in order to check whether that was the case with the new Wolff 8076 Compact construction crane, the company hired Wiesbauer and its Tadano<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> AC 7.450-1 all terrain crane in order to erect the prototype.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The job was very clearly defined: The construction crane had to be erected under realistic work site conditions from a single location with the smallest amount of effort possible and as quickly as possible. Accordingly, the team at Wiesbauer quickly figured out that no crane would be able to meet these requirements better than its new Tadano AC 7.450-1: In fact, the unit\u2019s compact outrigger configuration and fast setup times meant that it immediately met two important requirements. However, its enormously powerful main boom was also a crucial factor, as it made it possible to lift even the heaviest loads for the job without a superlift system. \u201cTheoretically speaking, we could have also erected the construction crane with a 350-tonne crane. However, that would have needed bracing, and that would have made the setup time longer by up to four hours,\u201d explains Christoph Kriegel, who is part of Wiesbauer\u2019s technical field staff. It is also worth mentioning at this point that his company also decided on a Tadano model for the assist crane: an ATF 70G-4 all terrain crane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One-hour setup for the AC 7.450-1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the AC 7.450-1 would be able to take care of the lifts without a lot of accessories, the Wiesbauer team only needed two lowbed trailers and two trucks to transport everything to the work site. Setting up the crane was just as quick, and in fact only required two assembly technicians: After a single hour, the crane was ready with the necessary configuration, featuring a 59.80-meter boom and 100 tonnes of counterweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one-of-a-kind Tadano Surround&nbsp;View system with its six cameras proved to be enormously advantageous when positioning the crane and taking care of the lifts later on: \u201cThe system simply makes it a breeze to position and drive the crane \u2013 you can see the outriggers and the slewing radius while keeping an eye on all obstacles around you,\u201d explains crane operator Jannik Weigl, who goes on to point out another advantage when positioning the AC 7.450-1: \u201cIf needed, you can move the crane at the work site with up to 120 tonnes of counterweight and the hook block installed and cut down on setup time as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>27 tonnes at 23 meters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Wolff 8076 Compact prototype had an impressive height of 44.10 meters, the AC 7.450-1 had to reach a hook height of at least 54 meters to get the job done. Not a problem for the Tadano crane and its 80-meter-long main boom when working at radii of 12 to 23 meters. And just as expected, it was also able to easily lift the heaviest component of the Wolff construction crane \u2013 the counter jib with a weight of 27.3 tonnes \u2013 without a superlift system. \u201cThat really shows just how powerful the crane is,\u201d Christoph Kriegel points out. \u201cEverything just went perfectly smoothly during the lifts \u2013 even with the biggest loads, the AC 7.450-1 handled everything with precision and accuracy at all times. It really is an amazing machine,\u201d highlights Jannik Weigl, whose enthusiasm for the crane is plain as day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Engert is also extremely happy with how the assembly process for his prototype went: \u201cThe AC 7.450-1 really outdid our expectations. We saved a lot of time with it not only by being able to forego any bracing, but also thanks to its enormous power and how that made it possible to complete the lifts quickly. In other words, the Tadano AC 7.450-1 is the perfect crane for erecting large construction cranes as far as we\u2019re concerned,\u201d he happily summarizes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13555,"parent":0,"template":"","news_topics":[244],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tadano AC 7.450-1 erects tower crane prototype - UK &amp; Ireland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tadano.com\/united-kingdom\/de\/about\/news\/tadano-ac-7-450-1-erects-tower-crane-prototype\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tadano AC 7.450-1 erects tower crane prototype - UK &amp; Ireland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cThe moment of truth is always when you erect a prototype for the first time \u2013 that\u2019s when you can really tell whether the crane you had in theory is the crane you have in practice,\u201d Wolffkran Product Manager Michael Engert says, speaking from experience.
