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.

The cranes

5 self-erecting cranes, 1.8 to 8 tonnes.

Every figure is read from the Potain datasheet for that crane. Capacity is the most it lifts close in; the jib-end figure is what it lifts at the tip of its longest jib.

What these terms mean
Self-erecting
A crane that unfolds its own tower and jib from one transport, with no mobile crane needed to put it up. Quick to set up on small sites.
At jib end
What the crane lifts at the very tip of the jib. That is the furthest reach, and the point where it carries the least.
