• Potain dealer for the Rhône-Alpes region Valente Grue Assistance has assembled two Potain MDT 109 top-slewing tower cranes on France’s largest glacier, the Mer de Glace “Sea of Ice” near Chamonix in the French Alps.
• The respective cranes will be used to help construct a logistics base and a cable car station and, due to the remote location, had to be assembled by helicopter.
• In each instance, it took less than four days to carry out the entire operation, from the delivery of the elements to the commissioning of the cranes.
