Latest Manitowoc cranes and new Potain dealer for Belgium NEREMAT showcased at Matexpo 2013

BLE displayed a selection of Grove all-terrain and rough-terrain cranes as well as four self-erecting Potain cranes at Matexpo 2013. But the biggest attraction on the BLE stand was the new 1.8 t capacity Igo M 14 self-erecting tower crane as Paul Spaepen general manager at BLE explains:

“The Igo M 14 offers class-leading lift height and one of the easiest set up procedures in the industry ” he says. “Many people were impressed with the crane and we are confident it will be a popular addition to Potain’s self-erecting range.”

In addition to the Igo M 14 on BLE’s stand a 100 t capacity GMK4100L all-terrain crane and a 45 t capacity RT550E rough-terrain crane lined up with an Igo 21 Igo 22 and Igo 36 self-erecting crane.
