Since its inception in La Clayette, France in 1928, Potain has been the world leader in tower crane production, with more than 100,000 cranes sold and installed around the world. Today the company produces over 60 models from manufacturing plants in France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and China.
Potain produces three families of tower cranes designed for different applications; the smallest cranes of the Potain range are the self-erecting cranes, running from 1 Tonne to 8 Tonne capacity. Higher and bigger are the top slewing cranes, varying from 8 Tonne to 65 Tonne capacity; these are also the largest custom-designed special application cranes which reach capacities of 162 Tonne.
Innovations include the Vision Cab, the Dialog control system and the LLC range of hoists. The company’s growing reputation, meanwhile, has seen it widen its appeal with Potain units now seen not only on traditional construction sites, but also in dam building projects, power stations, shipbuilding yards, bridge building projects and a host of other applications.
