• Manitowoc is introducing two new luffing jib crane models, the MR 309 and MR 329, which come in 16 t or 25 t maximum capacity variants.
• While both cranes share a 60 m jib and 3.4 t capacity at the tip, they have different load curves and heights under pivot thanks to the respective 2 m and 2.45 m pivot and mast configurations.
• The new generation responds to customer feedback for simpler and quicker erection, a greater height under pivot, more powerful load charts, and a smaller out of service radius (minimum 9.5 m up to 12 m).
• Dutch crane company Multi-Crane has deployed six Potain MDT topless tower cranes for the De Zaanse Helden residential project in Zaandam, near Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
• The project’s confined space demanded meticulous planning of the crane positioning, hook heights, and oversailing. Multi-Crane’s ability to solve the puzzle with its fleet of Potain MDT topless tower cranes won the company the rental contract.
• The latest luffing jib crane from Potain builds on the design of the popular and proven MR 618 for European and North American markets.
• It is designed for the growth markets of Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America and includes moveable counterweights for better space optimization as well as a compact design.
• The MCR 625 works with one or two-fall reeving, enabling faster hoist speeds to maximize productivity.
