MDT 809 M25

• Strabag has deployed Germany’s first Potain MDT 809 tower crane, which, with a capacity of up to 40 t and 80 m of jib, is the largest topless crane ever to be built by Manitowoc.
• The Austrian contractor required the giant crane to meet its capacity and reach requirements for the FAIR particle accelerator facility construction project in Darmstadt, Germany, where it was installed on March 31 and will remain for three years.

Manitowoc won best tower crane assembly at the JDL Expo tower crane awards in Beaune, September 10, for the Potain MDT 319 working on the DUO Towers in Paris.

The construction contracting company is putting the crane to use to help build the “City Ridge” project, which is a redevelopment project in Washington D.C. 

One of Potain’s largest capacity cranes, this topless crane moves large amounts of material at a time and can be assembled and dismantled much quicker, expediting job site work.
