On a smaller tower crane, for example, we could manually handle the pulleys, rope support, brackets and platforms, whereas on a crane of this size, we need the assistance of a mobile crane – and that takes a bit of extra planning and preparation. I’m talking about the jib and counter jib, the slewing mechanism, the counterweights, and after assembly, the wire ropes for the hoist and trolley. But being much bigger than a regular Potain MCT crane, we obviously need to take the increased weight of certain components into account. The MCT 1105 has all the features we know and love from the MCT range, such as the modular hoisting that makes these cranes just so quick and easy to assemble. What is it like to assemble such an enormous crane? Customers have been asking for greater flexibility and performance along the jib and I think it’s incredible, the standard we are setting for what’s possible with a topless design. Whereas the MCT 1005 M50 can lift up to 8 t at the end of an 80 m jib, the MCT 1105 can lift up to 11 t. The difference is that the MCT 1105 has a significantly bigger tip capacity. I never expected that we would go even bigger! How does t he MCT 1105 build on the MCT 1005 M50?īoth cranes have the same impressive capabilities – a 69.7 m maximum freestanding height under hook, a 50 t maximum capacity, and an 80 m working radius. Last year, we broke records with the launch of the MCT 1005 M50, which until recently was the largest ever topless crane to come out of the Zhangjiagang plant. It is absolutely enormous! In my nine years installing Potain tower cranes, first at our testing ground and then for customers, I have never worked with such a beast. What were your first impressions of the new Potain MCT 1105 topless crane? TII - Transporter Industry International GmbH.Belgian Equipment Rental Association (BERA).
