Potain MC 235B

The Potain MC 235B is a robust hammerhead tower crane designed for versatile tower heights and excellent performance in dense urban or vertical construction environments. With a 65-meter maximum jib length, the crane offers a lifting capacity of 10 metric tons near the mast and 2.05 metric tons at the jib tip when fully extended, making it suitable for a broad range of lifting applications.

This crane is powered by the 50 LVF 25 hoisting mechanism with a 37 kW motor, delivering hoisting speeds up to 79 m/min with light loads and maintaining solid control across a range of capacities thanks to variable fall configurations (2/4 falls). The trolleying mechanism is a 6 D3 V4, providing speeds between 10 to 50 m/min, and the slewing motion is controlled by an RCV 185 system with a maximum rotation speed of 0.8 rpm. All movements are smooth and responsive, ensuring safe, efficient handling even in tight job sites.

Its climbing configuration and modular tower system allow heights under hook from 30 meters up to over 65 meters freestanding, with anchorage extensions pushing the operational height further to 194.7 meters. The VB 20A base combined with the 2x2m mast structure ensures stability and a high level of resistance against torsional forces. Travelling speed ranges from 13.5 to 27 m/min, ensuring smooth transitions across rail-mounted applications when needed.

Overall, the MC 235B is engineered for dependable service in high-rise commercial or infrastructure builds, balancing lifting power, reach, and flexibility with Potain’s renowned build quality.
