A fleet of 10 Potain MR 418 tower cranes is helping construct a massive new project: the Royal Atlantis Resort and Residences which is located on the crescent of the Palm Jumeirah island in Dubai United Arab Emirates. Potain business partner Abu Dhabi-based NFT supplied the cranes on a rental contract to the joint venture (JV) building the development. The JV is made up of two contractors—the Belgium-based BESIX and South Korea’s SsangYong Engineering & Construction—and the project marks the first time that MR 418 cranes have been used in the UAE.

A fleet of 13 Potain tower cranes is helping to build a new residential and commercial district in Regensburg Germany. The new district named “Das DÖRNBERG ” is only miles from Regenburg’s historic old town which has been a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage since 2006.

When the Manitowoc MLC300 crawler crane debuted with Variable Position Counterweight (VPC) and VPC-MAX heavy lift attachment one of its unique selling points was the crane’s barge-lifting capabilities. The reduced footprint and floating counterweight meant that it would be much more efficient for lifters to barge-mount a crawler crane. Contracting teams could erect the crane onto smaller water-based barges because the machine automatically adjusts its center of gravity for each lift.

North American companies are reaping the benefits of using Grove telescoping crawler cranes on a variety of jobs. Their combination of crawler maneuverability telescoping boom versatility and 100 percent pick-and-carry capability is helping lifters increase efficiency on a wide variety of projects.

Petro-Sea Logistics a joint venture between Belgium’s Sea-Invest and Ivory Coast’s Petroci began buying Grove all-terrain cranes in 2016 and that trend continues in 2017 with the addition of a GMK5180-1. The company made the switch from another brand’s all-terrain range and hasn’t turned back thanks in part to the reliability of new Grove models and especially for the aftermarket service that Manitowoc provides the company.

Kolkata-based Indian real estate company PS Group is using three Potain MCT 85 topless cranes to help construct its much-anticipated residential project PS Panache.

Potain and Grove cranes were showcased at international construction equipment trade fair Komatek 2017 in Ankara Turkey this May. Manitowoc was represented at the show through two of its Turkish dealers Istanbul-based TeknoVinç and Ankara-based Karun. Potain distributor TeknoVinç displayed a Hup 32-27 and a MDT 219 at the show while Grove distributor Karun presented a GMK6300L.

Manitowoc has expanded Spanish-language training programs in Latin America so technicians who work at regional dealers can increase their knowledge on the company’s cranes and systems.

Manitowoc showcased the Potain Hup 40-30 Grove GMK5150L GMK4100L-1 and RT540E cranes as well as a variety of customer services at Vertikal Days 2017.

Construction is underway on a $331 million rental car facility in Hawaii and a Manitowoc MLC300 is driving performance on the job site to help contractors execute an innovative lift plan.

Leadership from both Manitowoc’s Potain brand and NFT its distribution partner for much of the Middle East gathered in Abu Dhabi UAE to celebrate 30 years of cooperation and to view NFT’s new state-of-the-art facility. Since its inception in 1987 NFT has grown rapidly – in partnership with Potain – and today the company is the largest owner of Potain tower cranes in the world. To help service its huge fleet the company relocated its operations earlier this year to a major new location approximately 31 miles (50 km) from the center of Abu Dhabi.
