The Ideal Fit for Tight Jobsites

On a five-story, wood framed multi-family development in Norterra, Arizona, a Potain Igo T85A proved to be the perfect choice. On this jobsite, in particular, the crane’s footprint had to stay inside the courtyard right next to a building while access for materials and construction crews had to remain open.

With such a limited working space, any crane size outside the tight footprint would have blocked traffic and created a safety hazard. In this application, however, the Potain Igo T85A self-erecting crane was placed into a small space by using its GAPO power unit with a steerable axle to maneuver it into the courtyard.
