MDT 809 M40

• One MDT 809 with a custom 279-foot (85 m) jib can reach most of the perimeter of an art museum renovation project in Maryland.
• A second unit is delivering the required jib-end lifting power for an office building overhaul at Georgetown University.
• The MDT 809 is Potain’s largest topless tower crane for the U.S. market.

• 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.
