When choosing a crane for the construction of a high-rise building, many contractors prefer IGO series machines from the French manufacturer Potain. The design is based on a self-assembling mechanism, which allows it to be fully operational within 15 minutes under the control of 1 operator. Potain hydraulic tower cranes increase work speed and productivity while reducing construction costs.

Quick-erect tower crane Potain IGO 50

The Potain IGO50 quick-erect tower crane is one of the most sought-after and popular models on the quick-erect tower crane market.
As one of the representatives of the IGO line - a family of quickly erected tower cranes from one of the recognized leaders in the market - the French concern Potain Manitowoc, the Potain IGO 50 model embodies all the experience in the production of self-erecting tower cranes. Of course, there are many quickly erected cranes from other manufacturers, which, like the Potain IGO 50, can be transported cheaply and in size on a low-loader trawl and one scow - but they are all equipped with a boom of a maximum of 35, or even 30 meters, which sharply reduces the possibility of their use on construction sites, and the Potaun IGO 50 has a boom with a maximum reach of 40 meters! Moreover, a solid load moment allows you to work at maximum reach with a load of up to 1 ton.

The Potain IGO 50, like most modern quick-erect cranes, has the ability to work with the boom raised. The maximum deflection angle is 20 degrees, which, in general, is not something outstanding. However, thanks to its forty-meter boom, when working at such an angle, the IGO 50 provides a load lift of an outstanding 33.8 meters at the end of the boom! This is an excellent indicator for such a compact and economical crane.

Hidden IGO 50 is equipped with a patented system for automatically re-relining the cargo rope, which allows you to change the reeving from double to quadruple in the working position, without additional steps to fold the crane. This is another very significant plus in the treasury of advantages of this model of self-erecting crane.

Another distinctive feature is the ability to work on a partially extended boom - especially for lifting operations taking place in cramped conditions, when a forty-meter boom is a disadvantage, not an advantage. Especially for such cases, Potain's forward-thinking engineers have provided the ability to operate the crane with the boom extended only into one or two segments, rather than the full length.

Thanks to a sophisticated system of rods and hydraulic cylinders, a Potain IGO 50 tower crane can be erected by a qualified installer in a few hours, with most of the time spent on laying the ballast plates rather than on the installation itself.

Machine series

The French company Potain produces tower cranes in a wide range. The most popular are three series of special equipment. This includes MC, MDT and IGO.

M.C.

Building units of this type are intended for the construction of any structure whose construction period is quite long. A distinctive feature of MC is considered to be very high performance with low energy consumption. The speed of lifting a load in one minute can reach 122 m. At the same time, minor changes in weight do not in any way affect the efficiency of high-altitude work.

You can also note the speed of assembly of the structure. Almost any MC series tower crane model can be put into operation within one shift. This is ensured by unique design solutions in the production of each unit of lifting equipment.

Tower crane Potain MC-235b

The manufacturing process uses high-strength steel grades Q345C and Q345D.

To give maximum stability and rigidity, the entire structure is assembled from square metal. To do this, steel corners are connected by welding. Their size depends on the model of the tower crane and can be 180x180x18 mm or 200x200x20 mm.

Technical data of Potain MC series cranes are presented in the table:

IGO

This type of lifting structures from Potain is distinguished by its rapid erection.

No special team is needed for its installation. An experienced operator will install the crane himself in 10-15 minutes.

At the same time, he does not need to make any effort, since the IGO series installation is considered self-erecting.

The positive features of such tower cranes include:

• Ease of operation and maintenance. Automated control systems for equipment and cargo allow one operator to cope with all tasks;
• Almost imperceptible power consumption. This figure does not exceed 22 kW;
• Easy to transport around the construction site. To do this, you only need to have a special cart;
• Lack of preparatory work for site construction;
• Compact base. Its dimensions do not exceed 4.5x4.5 m.

The most common models include IGO 36, 50, 18, 22 and 15 tower cranes.

MDT

This type of lifting equipment is a type without a head. This series is a leader in sales and popularity.

The features of MDT include the ability to change the length of the boom without changing the main components of the structure and the presence of a working space limitation function as standard.

This helps to improve ease of use and achieve maximum safety of surrounding objects.

The positive qualities of MDT series tower cranes include:

• Quickly increase height with fingers up to 300 m;
• A variety of stable bases (cross, chassis or anchor);
• The load lifting speed can reach 114 m/min;
• Convenient transportation due to the small dimensions of the removable sections.

The most popular models in the MDT series include models 178, 98, 128 and 368 L12.

Characteristics and features of machines

Unlike other series of machines, Potain IGO cranes, developed by Manitowoc Cranes Group, are energy efficient. During operation, they consume no more than 22 kW/h, while performing complex construction operations. A concrete platform is not required for assembly and installation, which expands the range of operation of the machine. The advantages of Potain IGO taps include:

• load capacity up to 1.8 tons;
• control using a remote control;
• lifting height: from 16 to 32 meters, depending on the model;
• base area during installation: 4.5x4.5 meters;
• block heating system with electronics, which allows you to operate the machine in winter;
• maneuverability, allowing the crane to be used in confined spaces.

Self-contained installation of the ballast using a beam crane facilitates assembly. The chassis ensures transportation of the machine to the work site with low labor and time costs.

Conditions for renting Potain IGO 50

All machines are operated by highly qualified crane operators, undergo regular maintenance and repairs, and periodic inspections. Our engineers provide supervision of safe operation at sites.

Crane rental includes operator services and 24-hour technical support. If necessary, we will provide timely repairs. It is possible to work on both single-shift and double-shift schedules.

It is worth considering that energy costs are paid by the tenant. Installation and dismantling are also paid separately, and the final cost depends on the delivery date, remoteness of the object, complexity of the work performed and other factors.
