The crane was erected at 30m in Saint-Mathurin, a small village in northwest France, in March 2017, to help with the construction of an 11-house complex.
The crane is lifting from a single location construction materials in loads that weigh up to 2.5t, at radii up to 40m.
Yannis Rousseau, owner of Agesibat said: “The Potain Hup 40-30 works well in both a city and forest environment, thanks to its telescoping abilities that help to lift over obstacles. We considered acquiring a Potain Igo 50, but when we found out about the Hup 40-30, and that such a small amount of space is needed on the ground for its height and lifting capacities, we felt confident that the Hup 40-30 would be a great long-term investment.”
Agesibat has been in business in France for 40 years and has grown to 23 employees. The company currently owns two Potain self-erecting cranes, both of which are an Igo 22 model. It acquired the new Hup 40-30 through Potain distributor SOME.
