World-class reliability from Potain tower cranes supports landmark project in Tbilisi

• Two Potain MCT 275 tower cranes have recorded three years of continuous performance with zero unplanned downtime during the build.
• The cranes receive dedicated local service support and regular certified technical inspections to ensure construction stays on track for a stunning new hotel in the Georgian capital.

Two Potain MCT 275 topless tower cranes are supporting daily lifting operations on a complex, multi-structure hotel development where crane availability is critical to maintaining construction momentum. The cranes have worked continuously for more than three years, delivering consistent performance with zero unplanned breakdowns since erection. The new hotel will form part of the Central Park Towers project in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Central Park Towers is a five-star integrated resort and hotel in downtown Tbilisi, managed by Radisson Blu and developed by Orbi Group Tbilisi, which also serves as the project’s main contractor. Construction has taken place across multiple phases, supported by a large on-site workforce, with the Potain MCT 275 cranes remaining central to site operations, ensuring coordinated material flow and sustained productivity throughout the build.

The two MCT 275 cranes used on the project are the 10 t versions and were initially erected in a freestanding configuration before climbing to final working heights of 150 m. The cranes have been configured with 45 m and 50 m jibs to support lifting operations as construction has progressed.

“Maintaining crane availability on a complex project like Central Park Towers needs more than just reliable equipment; it depends on strong service support throughout. The Manitowoc customer support team has been on the project from the start, handling erection and commissioning, then training the local team in maintenance and operation. We’ve also provided regular maintenance, comprehensive inspections, engineering support, and ongoing parts supply to ensure the cranes perform reliably. Whenever and whatever is needed, we’re there,” said Konstantin Guba, customer service director, Middle East and North Africa, Manitowoc.

The Potain MCT 275 is available in 10 t and 12 t versions and can be configured with jib lengths ranging from 30 m to 70 m. It is designed for large-scale construction projects requiring flexibility and long-term reliability. With end-of-jib capacities of up to 2.3 t, the crane provides effective load-handling across wide areas, making it well suited to complex developments with demanding lifting requirements.
