Manitowoc launches another big Potain crane from its China factory
The Potain MCR 815 luffing jib crane has a 64 t maximum capacity – twice that of the current largest luffing jib crane from the Company’s Zhangjiagang, China factory.
The 70 m jib can be luffed to an out-of-service radius of just 16 m, making it ideal for congested jobsites.
A powerful new winch offers line speeds of up to 185 m/min with a 2.3 t load.
Manitowoc’s comprehensive array of aftermarket services on show at bauma
The booth features Grove and Potain displays of comprehensive aftermarket support offerings.
The Company will showcase Parts, Service Support, Potain CONNECT™ and Grove CONNECT™, Rental/Used Cranes/EnCORE Remanufacturing, training support, new products, and Lift Solutions.
