Manitowoc used bauma China 2016 to highlight its industry-leading innovation, with the presentation of two new tower crane models: the prototype MCH 120, which is still in development, and the MCR 295, which is now commercially available. The company will release further details on the striking new MCH 120, a topless luffing jib crane, in due course.

Jim Cui, sales and customer service director for Potain cranes in China, said the new units helped reinforce the company?s position as a global market leader. The new Potain MCR 295 will be sold in Asia-Pacific, Middle Eastern, African and Latin American countries. It is the largest luffing jib crane from Manitowoc?s manufacturing facility in Zhangjiagang, China. The crane is available in three variations, each with their own rated capacity and load chart.
