Davis Company has purchased the first Potain Hup M 28-22 self-erecting tower crane in North America. The company first invested in a Potain in 2005, when it purchased the first Igo MA 21 in North America. A decade-and-a-half later, the 2 USt capacity, 85.3 ft jib radius crane continues to work consistently on job sites throughout Nevada and California, the two states the company operates in since 1971.

The Hup M 28-22 is the third model from the Hup self-erecting crane range and the first to prioritise mobility — symbolised by the M in its name. Showcasing its mobility, the crane is configured with an integrated transport axle (North America compliant), which allows transportation by 5-wheel or two bar over the road. Once on the job site, the transport axle can maneuver the crane into position by wireless remote. The new maneuverability opportunities of the Hup M 28-22 enable work in narrow, restricted job sites, as well as making it easy to transport from site to site.

The Potain Hup M 28-22 features two load charts, each with 16 configurations, which is unique to this category of self-erecting cranes, enabling it to be easily adapted for a wide range of job site applications. The crane has a maximum capacity of 2.4 USt and can impressively lift 1,874 lb at its 92 ft jib end.
