Self erector increases efficiency

Minnesota, USA-based residential building contractor Link Construction used a Potain Igo MA 21 self-erecting tower crane, made by US manufacturer Manitowoc, positioned in a gap between two houses being built in order to increase construction efficiency.

According to Manitowoc, the crane’s strategic location and small footprint of 13.8 sq ft (4.2 m) combined with its 85.3 ft (26 m) of jib radius allowed Link Construction to reach the entire jobsite using just one piece of equipment, increasing efficiency on both builds.
