Historical Background

Wasel Krane is a German heavy-lift and special transport company based in Bergheim, known for operating across Europe in demanding logistics environments. Unlike standard freight operators, companies like Wasel specialize in complex lifting, relocation, and transport tasks involving oversized or unusual cargo that requires specialized equipment and planning.

In combination with crane and heavy-lift services, these vehicles often act as support units within larger project logistics operations.
