For over 20 years, renting out tower cranes has been the core business of Wilbert Kranservice GmbH, Stromberg, to the west of Bingen on the Rhine in Germany. Since 2003, Wilbert Turmkrane GmbH have successfully produced their own cranes.
"Perfect welding", according to Günter Kronewitter, head of sales for Kranservice GmbH, "is the be-all and end-all for the high safety and quality of the red Wilbert cranes.“
Four years ago, Wilbert modernised their welding machine park with our highly dynamic EWM inverter power source Phoenix 451. That that was a far-sighted decision is becoming clearer from day to day: "Right from the start, the machines produced the results which the manufacturer had promised“, remembers Bruno Linck, specialist welding engineer at the plant, and with a twinkle in his eye he continued, "we are aware today that the welding technology of the future was already integrated into our machines. By simply selecting new MAG characteristics, the Phoenix produced the concentrated, targeted, powerful arc of the forceArc^® process which is also outstandingly easy to use. For our application, this is innovation tailor-made for us."
