Potain MDT 389 L16

Introduced as part of Potain’s top-of-the-line MDT City series, the MDT 389 L16 flat top tower crane integrates advanced technology with robust lifting performance. This model boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 16 tonnes and features a jib that extends to 75 meters, delivering a tip load of up to 3.3 tonnes at maximum reach. The modular design includes Potain’s Top Site and Top Tracing systems, enhancing site adaptability and operational safety.

The crane operates with various hoisting winch options such as the 75/90 HPLTM, 110/132 HPLTM, and the 100 LVF models. The 110 HPLTM, for example, provides hoisting speeds up to 194 m/min and accommodates 1140 meters of rope. The MDT 389 L16 supports a range of power inputs (400 V at 50 Hz or 480 V at 60 Hz) and adapts lifting speeds based on load via the Potain Plus and Power Control functions, ensuring optimal energy usage and operational efficiency.

The slewing mechanism is managed by the RVF Optima+, offering precise rotation with speeds up to 0.8 rpm. The crane uses either 2.0 m or 2.45 m mast sections, with multiple anchoring and chassis configurations available to suit different site conditions. Tower heights and under-hook heights are adaptable depending on the mast and base combinations, allowing maximum structural versatility.

Designed for quick assembly and transport, the MDT 389 L16 is optimized for containerization and modular setup, making it a practical choice for urban high-rise construction and industrial infrastructure projects alike.
