Staying strong worldwide: how Manitowoc serves customers across the globe
Leading figures from Manitowoc and its dealers used a panel discussion to review how the company and its products are ideally structured to support customers around the world.
The panel highlighted how versatile designs, continuous innovation, and long-term support combine to boost customer productivity and profitability.
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.

• R.G. Smith needed a crane with great mobility that would not require additional trucks or operators on the job site. The TMS700E truck-mounted crane was a perfect fit.
• The Canton, Ohio-based industrial contractor is a long-standing Grove customer, as the company counts trustworthiness as an important principle for success.
