Weitz Krane

[linaprin 1]

Hello!

Mr. Pius Meier has done a great job with his overview of Weitz-Richier tower cranes on www.kran-info.ch.
Congratulations!

The advantage of the second generation of Weitz tower cranes was their ability to self-assemble.
In next few photos I would like to present the simplicity of assembly proceedure on X1266Y model.

This cranes could be transported by road using a truck or on transport wheels.

After positioning of the crane between the rails cross beams are added to complete an undercarriage.
Then the assembly is lowered onto the undercarriage by screwjacks.
