Construction firm CB Construction, based in Sereban, Malaysia, is using a Potain MC 310 K12 tower crane to construct the country’s largest shopping mall for retail group AEON.

The tower crane was purchased in order to help with superstructure work on the project, which will cover some 110,000m2 and comprise five stories.

The MC 310 K12 has a maximum capacity of 12t and can lift up to 3.2t at its 70m jib end. On the AEON project loads for the crane include 2t formwork sections. The MC 310 K12 is scheduled to stay at the job site for 10 months. It was supplied to CB Construction by IFT, a Potain dealer in Malaysia.

The new AEON mall in Nilai, which is located 50km south of Kuala Lumpur, is set to open in 2018.
