Falcon Tower Crane Services is 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 developing its sales.
Commenting on the deal, Andrew Brown, managing director of Falcon Tower Crane Services, said:聽鈥淲e鈥檙e 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.鈥�
Announcing the appointment, Falcon Tower Crane Services said it will receive six Potain self-erecting cranes in its first order as a UK dealer, including two Potain Igo 50 models, a Potain Hup 40-30, and three Potain Igo T 85 A cranes.
The Igo 50 is the largest self-erecting crane in Potain鈥檚 Igo range. The 4 t capacity crane features a 40 m jib and can lift 1.1 tonnes at jib end. It is designed with a small rear slewing radius to ensure maneuverability even at the most congested jobsites.
The 4 tonnes Potain Hup 40-30 shines in both versatility and agility with several configuration options, high-performance slewing that delivers superior 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 easily adapted for a range of jobsite applications.
Often deployed to build low-rise apartment and commercial complexes, the 6 tonne capacity Potain Igo T 85 A is easy to set up and dismantle, and its 45 m swing radius can generally cover all of a site鈥檚 building area. The variable height telescoping lattice mast ranges from 20 to 38 m.
Falcon Tower Crane Services will handle sales and support services for Potain self-erecting cranes from its base in Shipdham, Norfolk.聽
