Two used Potain MC 120B tower cranes sold in Azerbaijan to head up distinguished local project

• Azinvest, a top Azerbaijani construction company, purchased two used Potain MC 120B tower cranes to lead construction on a new wellness center in Karabagh. 
• The cranes were selected for their reliability and cost-effectiveness and were sold through AS Texnika, Manitowoc’s local dealer, which also fully refurbished the cranes ahead of delivery.

Two used Potain MC 120B tower cranes have been sold to Azinvest, one of Azerbaijan’s leading construction companies. The cranes were purchased by Azinvest through local Manitowoc dealer AS Texnika and sourced through Manitowoc’s extensive global network for used cranes. Azinvest has previously collaborated closely with AS Texnika so was immediately interested in adding Potain cranes to its latest project in Karabagh.  
 
“We wanted to provide our valued customer with cost-effective, high-quality tower cranes for this project. Reliability and performance are going to be crucial on a project like this, so it made sense to choose Potain. Azinvest has already used tower cranes on several jobsites and recognizes Potain as the best-in-class. The company also has complete confidence in the service and support provided by AS Texnika,” said Kamran Amiraslan, lifting equipment department manager at AS Texnika.

The cranes are working on a new wellness center in Kalbajar, nestled in the picturesque Karabagh region. AS Texnika and Manitowoc joined forces to give them a full refurbishment to ensure they were in the best possible condition and to deliver an ‘as new’ feel. A comprehensive refurbishment process included refitting the operator cabs and replacing all essential components including the power cables and ropes.

Earlier this year Carina El Rkaiby, Manitowoc regional sales manager for tower cranes for Middle East, Africa, and CIS, visited AS Texnika to discuss the Company’s ongoing success and to present an award for its exemplary sales and service support in the local market. 

“Used cranes from Potain are highly sought after as they historically have had excellent resale values for crane operators; they are a great option and customers can select from our global inventory. Used cranes are available for purchase from multiple locations, ensuring fast availability and flexible shipping options. For us, helping a customer choose the right used crane is all about finding the most efficient delivery option that meets the project needs,” she said.
 
The Potain MC 120B is a proven performer and remains a hugely popular used crane choice for projects in emerging markets. There is strong availability within Manitowoc’s used crane network for reliable and affordable units, and delivery times can be as little as a few weeks.
