Wolff Cranes San Antonio

The Evolution into Hydraulics

The onset of the Second World War forced society to become more inventive in general. Even if the development and design of cranes has changed greatly, in this particular time these equipments progressed significantly. These industrial machines changed the face of the construction industry.



In 1946, the very first hydraulic crane was built by F. Taylor & Sons. Their model was only used by the company and could not slew or luff. When it joined along with Coles in the year 1959, this unit opened up the doors for a 42 and 50 Series. A Morris W.D. chassis is what the mobile hydraulic crane was first placed on.



The hydraulic crane by Taylor & Sons operated on a boom powered by a hydraulic pump as well as cylinders that were lifted and lowered by a hydraulic pump. Once the business was unable to utilize army vehicles as chassis for the machine, they started production for designing their own mobile hydraulic cranes.



The 1950s offered cranes that were heralded as remarkable machines that were capable of rebuilding what bombs dropped during the war had destroyed. The cranes were responsible for helping put together nations, cities and individual houses. Hydraulic systems became designed more and more complex. The gear and pump systems can be powered while the trucks remained immobile. Businesses such as Hydrauliska Instustri AB made the very first truck loader crane appearance on the market.



In 1952, the A2 crane was introduced. This particular model was a crane mounted on the rear of Chevrolet truck. It was complete with hydraulic lifting cylinders and a hooked winch. This loader crane started a huge trend in the industry. A company located within Bremen, known as Atlas Weyhausen started manufacturing similar versions of this machine.



Cranes immediately after the war were becoming more advanced. Different manufacturers and businesses making the winches developed accurate telescopic booms, and the hydraulic pumps were improved and using different materials so as to change the way the crane was developed.
