Shree Balaji Construction purchase third Potain tower crane
Fast-growing construction company Shree Balaji Construction has purchased its third Potain tower crane in as many years. The cranes all MCi 85 A models are being used on residential and commercial high-rise construction projects of up to 50 stories across Mumbai India.
Founded in 2012 the company chose the MCi 85 A because of its easy assembly and its internal climbing ability making it especially suitable for job sites that have limited space. The MCi 85 A can fit in most standard lift shafts and can be erected within their often confined limits. The crane then climbs as the building is being built.
“The MCi 85 A is the perfect solution for crowded urban construction sites ” explains Diptesh Shah partner at Shree Balaji Construction. “We have been pleased with its performance and reliability and that’s why we made this latest purchase to add a third crane to our fleet.”
Shree Balaji Construction has seen exponential growth over the last three years and its current backlog stands at an impressive $110 million (Cr. 700). The first MCi 85 A purchased by the company was added shortly after it was founded in 2012. Today it is working on its second project – Parinee The Xclusiv – a block of luxury residential apartments in the elite Upper Worli district of Mumbai. The 50-story tower is sited within a three-acre tract and offers just four large apartments per floor.
The second MCi 85 A which the company purchased in August last year is being used at the Park Royale eco-friendly homes complex in the Andheri region of Mumbai. Spanning a seven acre site six blocks of two- and three-bedroom luxury apartments are being built in the 18- floor structures.
And the newest MCi 85 A to join Shree Balaji Construction’s fleet is installed at Luxe Tower Chembur in the western suburbs of Mumbai. The 20-story complex consists of five blocks and is being constructed by A&O Realty.
“As a company we have standardized on Potain cranes and I am pleased to say that we have received excellent service from our local dealer in Mumbai ” adds Shah. “We haven’t experienced any problems to date but I am certain that if we have an issue the Potain team will solve it.”
Progress is continuing at Shree Balaji Construction and the company has recently announced an order for a fourth MCi 85 A. The latest unit will be delivered to a project in Kanjurmarg close to Mumbai.
The MCi 85 A has a 5 t maximum capacity and lifts 1.3 t at its maximum jib end of 50 m. The jib length can be altered from between 25 m up to 50 m to suit the job site making it a versatile crane. The crane has a free-standing height of 34.5 m can it can climb to much higher heights when required. The crane is manufactured at Manitowoc’s factory in Pune speeding up delivery times to customers in India. The MCi 85 A is currently Potain’s best-selling crane in this market.
