FALCoN AppoINTED uK DEALER FoR poTAIN SELF ERECToRS
Manitowoc has appointed UK tower crane rental house Falcon Tower Crane Services as its new UK dealer for Potain self-erecting cranes. The announcement was made at the recent Bauma 2022 trade show in Munich, Germany. Falcon Tower Crane Services confirmed an order for six cranes as part of the new arrangement. The company will receive two Potain Igo 50 models, a Potain Hup 40-30, and three Potain Igo T 85 A cranes. Falcon Tower Crane Services is one of
the largest tower crane rental company in the UK, with a fleet of 450 units. The company is taking on the UK dealership of Potain self-erecting cranes as it continues to develop its sales. “We’re receiving more and more enquiries from our UK customers for sales in addition to our ongoing rental agreements,” said Andrew Brown, managing director of Falcon Tower Crane Services. “We’re delighted to take on this new role as the UK dealer for Potain self-erecting cranes and we see a lot of potential for the product in the UK, with strong scope for growth as we expand our rental fleet and market the cranes for sale.” The Igo 50 is the largest self-erecting crane in Potain’s Igo range. The four
tonne capacity crane features a 40 metre jib and can lift 1.1 tonnes at jib end. It is designed with a small rear slewing radius to ensure manoeuvrability even at congested jobsites. The four tonne Potain Hup 40-30 is both versatile and agilile, claims Manitowoc, with several configuration options, high-performance slewing with good motion control, and the best transport package ever designed for a self-erecting crane. It can be erected in 16 different configurations, which is unique to this category of self-erecting cranes and
enables it to be adapted for a range of job site applications. Often deployed to build low-rise
apartment and commercial complexes, the six tonne capacity Potain Igo T 85 A is easy to set up and dismantle, says Manitowoc, and its 45 metre swing radius can generally cover all of a site’s building area. The variable height telescoping lattice mast ranges from 20 – 38 m. Falcon Tower Crane Services will handle sales and support services for Potain self-erecting cranes from its base in Shipdham, Norfolk.
