Rental Resource
Manufacturer’ s fleet gives users an extra option
BY MIKE LARSON
This 40-ton capacity Wolffkran Model 8095.40 Compact is one of several in Wolffkran Inc.’ s U. S. direct-rental fleet.
Wolffkran Inc.’ s direct-rental program in the United States gives tower crane users here an extra option for getting the crane they need when they need it.
Depending on their particular needs, a potential Wolffkran user can buy a Wolff tower crane from a dealer, buy or rent them from a typical crane rental fleet or rent them directly from Wolffkran Inc.
Likewise, rental fleet owners can book cranes from Wolffkran’ s fleet to help meet peak demand if all of their own tower cranes are already in use.
Wolffkran Inc. is the U. S. branch of Wolffkran GmbH, a tower crane manufacturer that is headquartered in Switzerland and produces its cranes in Germany.
An online search indicates that Wolffkran is the only tower crane maker that offers direct-from-the-manufacturer rentals in the United States.
Proven Model“ We started a U. S. rental fleet for several reasons,” said Michael Herget, president of Wolffkran Inc., whose headquarters are in Houston, Texas.
