The Potain Cab-IN was previewed at Intermat Paris in April 2018. The design meets French regulations being implemented in January 2019, which requires all tower cranes to include a lift when the crane mast exceeds 30 m. The Cab-IN also complies with existing regulations in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

The elevator has a maximum weight limit of 200 kg, allowing up to two people to utilise the lift at the same time. Maintenance technicians will also benefit from the lift, as it provides superior mast visibility and access all the way to the top, according to the company. The Potain Cab-IN was developed specifically for Potain top slewing cranes in partnership with GEDA to meet the needs of tower crane customers.

?The Potain Cab-IN was designed with the help of Voice of the Customer feedback,? said Thibaut Le Besnerais, Manitowoc?s Global Product Director for tower cranes.
