Potain Launches MCR 505 J25 Luffing Jib Tower Crane

  • The MCR 505 J25 delivers exceptional lifting power with an impressive maximum lifting capacity of 25 t from 30 m to 60 m jib lengths.
  • At 65 m maximum jib length, the crane offers a lifting capacity of 17 t, with a tip load of 4.7 t, ideal for extended reach operations.
  • The MCR 505 J25 control system optimizes load curves for superior lifting performance across diverse conditions.

Potain proudly announces the launch of the MCR 505 J25, a high-performance luffing jib tower crane engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern construction sites around the world.

The MCR 505 J25 boasts an extended free-standing height of 77.2 m, achieved through the combination of C809 and KMT850 masts. This design significantly reduces the need for anchorage points, streamlining site logistics and accelerating setup times. Its compact 15 m out-of-service slewing radius ensures optimal maneuverability in congested urban environments, making it ideal for high-rise and congested job sites.
Equipped with full frequency-controlled mechanisms and advanced control systems, the MCR 505 J25 delivers smooth, responsive movements for precise load handling. The crane’s VISU+ smart monitoring system provides real-time performance insights and intuitive controls, enhancing operator confidence and productivity.

Designed for seamless integration across international markets, the MCR 505 J25 supports both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies. Its adaptive power control feature allows operators to reduce energy consumption when full speed or power is not required. This is particularly beneficial during early project phases or on sites with limited power infrastructure, such as low-capacity generators or restricted grids.
Installation and maintenance are simplified through modular jib design, motorized gear ring lubrication, and built-in operation logging, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency. Built to meet FEM standards, the MCR 505 J25 is ready to perform in diverse climates and construction environments worldwide.

“With the launch of the MCR 505 J25, Potain continues to lead the industry in delivering innovative solutions that empower construction professionals to build faster, smarter, and stronger,” said Lv Weidong, Product Manager at Potain. “Its powerful lifting capabilities and global adaptability make it an excellent choice for high-rise and complex construction projects.”
