Manitowoc described the Wave One project as being typical of the work that Leighton Welspun’s Potain cranes perform: a high-rise development in the heart of a city.
The MC 125s pour concrete and lift general construction materials to build two 41-storey towers at the project. The MC 125s are external climbing units currently erected at heights of 68m, 74m and 80m. All of the cranes will reach a final working height of approximately 140m. Two are configured with 45m jibs and one with a 50m jib, to cover the entire 230,000 sq m job site.
The Potain MC 125 has a maximum jib length of 60m, at which it can lift 1.15 t. The crane uses Potain’s pin-connected mast sections for erection.
