Two second-hand Potain MC 120B tower cranes are leading the construction of a wellness centre in the western Azerbaijani region of Karabagh for local construction company Azinvest.
The MC 120 B tower crane has a maximum length of 60m, which makes the tower crane suitable for this particular project, which involves lifting large materials over a wide space.
AS Texnika – a local Manitowoc dealer – sourced through Manitowoc’s extensive global network for used cranes looking for something suitable, with lifting equipment department manager Kamran Amiraslan explaining why the company chose Potain’s MC 120B
“We wanted to provide our valued customer with cost-effective, high-quality tower cranes for this project,” he says
“Reliability and performance are going to be crucial on a project like this, so it made sense to choose Potain.”
“Azinvest has already used tower cranes on several jobsites and recognises Potain as the best-in-class,” Kamran says.
The two MC 120 Bs were refurbished with help from Manitowoc and AS Texnika, to ensure their quality was at an incredibly high standard to take on the complex job.
The refurbishment saw the MC 120 Bs with refitted operator cabs and brand new power cables and ropes.
Carina El Rkaiby, Manitowoc Regional Sales Manager for Tower Cranes for Middle East, Africa, and CIS, lauded the value in deploying used Potain cranes.
“Used cranes from Potain are highly sought after as they historically have had excellent resale values for crane operators; they are a great option, and customers can select from our global inventory,” said El Rkaiby.
“Used cranes are available for purchase from multiple locations, ensuring fast availability and flexible shipping options; for us, helping a customer choose the right used crane is all about finding the most efficient delivery option that meets the project needs,” El Rkauby explained.
