Potain has unveiled the first in a new range of self-erecting tower cranes, the four tonne capacity Evy 30-23 4 t.
The new model is intended to meet a growing demand for greater simplicity and improved under hook heights, while fully complying with the updated EN 14439 standard for tower cranes.
The first Evy, the 30-24 4 t
The Evy 30-23 4 t is designed for residential buildings up to three storeys in height. It features a 30 metre jib which luffs to 10, 20 or 30 degrees above horizontal for a maximum 35 metre under hook height. The four tonne maximum capacity can be taken out to a 9.5 metre radius, while the jib tip capacity is one tonne. The jib can also be hydraulically folded to a length of 15 metres or simply shortened to 24 metres if required

The crane offers a simple setup procedure and, according to Potain, requires less manual effort than similar cranes. It has a four metre square footprint and a new ballast block design that allows a loader crane to pick and install two blocks at a time. It also includes a three-phase power system and permanent four fall reeving.

The Evy 30-23 4 t is equipped with the company’s CCS Crane Control System, Smart Set-up, Power Control, and Drive Control and comes with the Potain Connect telematic modem allowing users to monitor and analyse crane utilisation, while providing remote and local diagnostics thanks to the Access and Assist applications. When it comes to transportation, the new Evy is compatible with existing Potain axles and can be towed as a trailer at 25kph or 80kph when set up as a semi-trailer.
Product manager Rémi Deporte said: “At Potain, we are driven to deliver innovative solutions that empower our customers. The Evy 30-23 4 t represents a significant milestone in our commitment to efficiency and ease of use in the construction industry.”
