Potain launches MCi 85 successor

Potain has launched a new five tonne MCT 85 tower crane at a concrete exhibition in São Paulo, Brazil.

Successor to the MCi 85, the MCT 85 has a maximum jib length of 52 metres and a maximum under hook height of 44.6 metres. It can lift 1.4 tonnes to a radius of 50 metres and 1.1 tonne at its maximum jib tip. Features include a mono-block counter jib with wind sail plates and the option to reeve at ground level. The mast can also be used with the company’s standard MC range of bases.

Didier Bigay, Manitowoc’s tower crane regional sales manager for South America, said: “The Potain MCT 85 offers maximum performance for a variety of projects, due to its high working speed and operational versatility. Its special features include low-noise emission, simplified assembly, broad load curves and low power consumption.”
