Wolffkran has introduced a groundbreaking wireless crane control innovation at bauma 2025, marking a significant leap forward in crane operation technology. The WOLFF Intuitive Control system fundamentally transforms crane handling by shifting the operator’s focus from crane movements directly to load movements, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy on construction sites.
Until now, crane operators managing wireless controls had to translate load movements manually into separate commands for slewing, trolley, and hoisting actions. They also had to mentally align their viewpoint with the crane’s coordinate system, which required substantial experience and attention to detail.
The new WOLFF Intuitive Control automatically converts these complex commands, allowing operators to direct load movements intuitively. Using a Cartesian movement system, the technology simplifies crane operations: push forward, and the load moves forward; similar intuitive controls apply to all directional commands. This significantly reduces mental fatigue and enhances precision, particularly in challenging visibility conditions.
Wolffkran’s ergonomic wireless remote control, designed for optimal comfort and ease of use, can be worn on the hip or back, giving operators enhanced mobility on-site. The control integrates seamlessly with WOLFF Cam display technology, ensuring operators always maintain clear visual contact with their load. Importantly, cabin-based crane operations remain unchanged, as Intuitive Control is solely designed for wireless remote control operations.
The proprietary WOLFF Intuitive Control system is available as an optional feature on new WOLFF cranes and as a retrofit upgrade for existing models. This innovation sets Wolffkran apart, delivering unmatched precision and reliability, unlike current intuitive crane control alternatives that often lack accuracy and require frequent recalibration.
Wolffkran has registered WOLFF Intuitive Control for patent, underscoring its unique capability to combine stability, precision, and ease of use.
