Potain MCT 1005 M50

The MCT 1005 M50 allows for the handling of an impressive 8 t at the end of its maximum 80 m jib, which is configured from 11 sections of either 5 m or 10 m in length. Only three sections are required to deliver its shortest configuration of 20 m, at which distance it can lift its full 50 t. The same maximum capacity is also available between 3.5 – 16.8 m when the jib is built to 80 m, or from 3.5 – 25.2 m when the jib is 30 m in length. Many customers will also appreciate the option of configuring the crane with the 45 m jib, which delivers a hefty 24.8 t maximum capacity at the jib end.

Three Different Counterjibs

These heavy payloads are supported with counterjib options of 15 m for jib configurations of up to 45 m; 17.5 m for jib configurations of up to 55 m; and 20 m when working with jibs from 60 to 80 m. This versatility aids the crane’s ability to work in proximity to other cranes or nearby structures. Over 1,070 m of rope is available on the drum and the crane’s payload is efficiently transported horizontally, thanks to the smooth and precise frequency drives of Potain’s 25 DVFC 25 trolley. Slewing speeds are set at between 0 – 0.7 rpm via the RVF 174 Optima+ system.

Better View

The K850 mast, with its 2.45 m x 2.45 m sections, enables a freestanding height under a hook of up to 69.7 m. At the top is the V140S Vision cabin where the operator will find a comfortable workstation that provides a clear view, aided by tinted glass, windshield wipers, and a sun visor. Heating comes as standard and air conditioning are available as an option for added comfort. The entire top-slewing section can be delivered to the job site in as few as 11 trucks, offering surprising ease of transportability for such a large crane.
