BLE supports Potain top slewers

BLE, the Grove mobile crane and Potain self erecting tower crane distributor for Belgium has taken over the product support responsibility for Potain top slewing tower cranes.

The new arrangement is strictly for after sales service only, with sales continuing through Manitowoc’s regional office in the Netherlands.

BLE has a repair center at its headquarters in Puurs, as well as a team of factory-trained technicians. Paul Spaepen, general manager of BLE, said: “Our company culture is built around service and doing whatever it takes to make the customer happy. We feel very comfortable with the Potain range of top-slewing cranes, and we know the systems and processes at Manitowoc Crane Care, so this is a natural step for us.”

Adri van Gronigen, commercial director of sales for Manitowoc in Benelux and Israel, said: “BLE has a long history of selling and servicing Grove mobile cranes in Belgium. In June 2008, the company also took on sales and service for Potain self-erecting cranes and has impressed us with its commitment and professionalism. We are delighted that BLE is now adding Manitowoc Crane Care services for top-slewing tower cranes to its offering.”
