Our Cranes
Potain cranes categorised into four groups: self-erecting, flat-top, luffing and heavy lift.
Pick the type that best suits your project and compare the models.
Four categories of cranes
Self-erecting cranes
Folds out from a single transport and sets itself up in hours, with no mobile crane. For houses, low-rise buildings and short jobs.
Igo 22 · Hup 40-30 · Igo 50 · Igo T 85 A · Igo T 130
Flat-top cranes
The jib stays level and there is nothing above it. Quick to put up, and the best value on a site with open sky around it.
MCT88 · MCT135 · MCT205 · MCT325 · MCT385A · MCT565A
Luffing cranes
The jib raises and lowers, so the crane works tight city sites hemmed in by buildings, other cranes or a flight path.
MCH125 · MCH175A · MCR225A · MCR305A · MCR505 · MCR515
Heavy lift cranes
Our largest flat-top and luffing cranes, from 32 to 90 tonnes, for major towers, infrastructure and heavy precast.
MCR625 · MCT1105 · MCR815 · MCT2205 · MCR1306

Check your lift
We'll recommend the right crane.
A first-pass filter, not a lift plan. It checks your load at your radius against the load chart in each crane's Potain datasheet, using the best jib length for the lift.
Confirm against the load chart.
None of our cranes carries this at that radius. Tell us the job →
