MDT 809 M32

• Demathieu et Bard is using three Potain tower cranes – two MDT 489 models and an MDT 809 – to build a data center close to Paris. 
• The French construction company selected the cranes for their high capacities, excellent load curves, speed, ease of assembly, and optimized transport.
• The cranes were assembled quickly and easily using a five-axle Grove GMK5250XL-1 all-terrain crane. The crane has the longest and most powerful boom in its class, yet still offers compact dimensions.

• 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.
