Both types of luffers- top-slewing, like wolff 900 b or bottom slewing are fascinating cranes. Peiner TN560 is of the later type. Till 80s bottom slewing luffers prevailed-with magnificent examples like Peiner M1300, M2000, TN1800 and height up to 160 meters. Nowadays top slewing luffers have superseded almost completely bottom slewing luffers. Most representative for this type are the luffers from Wolffkran, Wilbert and Favco.
