The crane also includes the
Potain Connect telematics system, which provides remote diagnostics, advanced analytics, and fleet management information designed to maximise uptime and optimise crane utilisation. There are other productivity options too, including an onboard generator for power independence on jobsites, hydraulic levelling for simplified crane setup, Potain Plus load curve software that enhances load chart capabilities, and the Top Site working range limiter. “We can't wait to reveal the

product manager at Manitowoc. “This crane is all about enhancing compactness, mobility, performance, and productivity, ensuring our customers get the most out of their investment.” At Bauma 2025 the new Igo M
24-19 will be showcased alongside one of Manitowoc’s best-selling self erecting tower cranes: the Potain Hup M 28-22 A. Since its launch in early 2020, Manitowoc claims this model has quickly become a customer favourite across Europe.
The Hup M 28-22 A can lift up to 2.2 tonnes and handle up to 850kg at its jib end. Manitowoc says it’s the only self erecting crane with a 28m jib capable of achieving hook heights from 19.6m to 31.1m with such a compact transport format.

JOHN SUTCH CRANES SPEAKS ABOUT ITS SPIERINGS SELF ERECTING TOWER CRANES
“We got our fi rst Spierings self erecting tower crane around 20 years ago,” says Hayley Sutch, (designate) director at UK crane hire specialist John Sutch Cranes. “Us and City Lifting were the fi rst in the UK to have them. I think Trevor Jepson [owner of City Lifting] was involved with the design and manufacture of them and it was Trevor and my dad who had the fi rst ones over here. “We now have two six-axle Spierings SK1265-AT6 cranes in our fl eet; they’re
real stars of the show. We use them a lot to lift things like roof sheets and air conditioning units. Because the cab is up high the operator can see onto the top of buildings and pinpoint exactly where they are placing items – so it’s great for that type of work. “When it comes to the self-erectors we’ve always stayed with Spierings. There
are alternatives, of course, but we like the Spierings ethos and, like us, they’re a family business so we get on really well them.”
