At the recently concluded InterBuildExpo 2017, Hoisting Machinery showcased Potains tower crane range. A long-time Potain dealer in Ukraine, Hoisting Machinery took the opportunity to promote the entire Potain tower crane range, highlighting both a variety of top-slewing and self-erecting models. The company is well versed in the Potain line-up, as it owns approximately 50 Potain tower cranes in its rental fleet. It was also one of the lifting companies that provided technical support to the erection, dismantling and servicing of the Potain cranes at the extensive, 10-year Chernobyl shelter project.

?We are seeing a lot of interest in self-erecting cranes in Ukraine,? said Jean-Claude Douc?ne, Manitowoc?s General Director for CIS Countries. ?There aren?t many companies offering this type of crane in Eastern Europe, but customers are quickly beginning to learn about their benefits, including easy transport, rapid erection and flexible configuration options. The new Potain Hup models have been especially interesting for rental companies here, as they are the most versatile self-erecting cranes on the market.?
