New generation of Potain Cranes 

The CCS system continuously monitors and tracks all crane movements and structural loads in real time thanks to an excellent network of redundant sensors. It only takes 15 minutes to set the configuration, calibrate the crane motion sensors, set the trolley limit switch, and set the boom length. After that, the tap will automatically get information about the stop points. It may take more than three hours for cranes that are not equipped with the CCS system to be properly set up and set up.

Excellent visibility and increased comfort The Ultra View cab brings comfort, ergonomics and functionality to a new level. The new cab design makes it easier for the crane operator to use all the functions of the new CCS control system from Manitowoc
