Potain's new luffer

Potain has launched a new luffing jib tower crane, the 25 tonne MCR 505 J25.

Though we have yet to see a full spec sheet, we are told that the crane has a maximum capacity of 25 tonnes, with jib lengths ranging from 30 to 60 metres, or 17 tonnes with the 65 metre jib, which also offers a jib tip capacity of 4.7 tonnes.

The crane is relatively compact with an 7.92 metre back mast and and service radius is jut 15 metres. The maximum free standing height is 77.2 metres using a combination of C809 and KMT850 tower sections.

The MCR 505 J25 features frequency controlled drives and Potain’s VISU+ monitoring/ display system providing performance data and controls. The crane supports both 50Hz and 60Hz power supplies and includes adaptive power control to reduce energy consumption.

Product manager Lv Weidong said: "Its powerful lifting capabilities and global adaptability make it an excellent choice for high rise and complex construction projects."
