Before buying the 2.5 t capacity MCi 48 C, Divakar Construction & Builders rented a Potain MCi 85 A and was impressed with its quality and performance. As a result, the company decided to invest in a Potain crane of its own, as Divakar, owner of the company, explains.

?The crane we rented was the perfect example of what Potain cranes are about: high-quality design, maximum job site efficiency and unbeatable return on investment,? he says. ?The next logical step after renting was to buy one of our own. As one of the top civil contractors in this region, it is important that we use industry-leading equipment that can perform on a huge variety of job sites. I am delighted that we are the first to welcome this innovative, new crane to India.? The Potain MCi 48 C building a convention centre at a hospital in Mangalore is placing a combination of steel, cement, rock and concrete. The Potain MCi 48 C can lift up to 1 t loads at its maximum jib end of 36 m.

There is a plan to use the same crane to build residential apartments, commercial buildings, educational institutes and other hospitals soon after the convention centre work is completed.

The advantage of the Potain MCi 48 C is its size; transportation is a hassle-free process as the crane can work comfortably even on congested city job sites. The MCi 48 C?s compact size also means that it consumes less electricity and can be installed easily, without compromising on performance.

?With a new government recently formed in India, the outlook for the country?s construction industry is encouraging,? adds Divakar.

?We are confident that this political change will have a positive impact on the market,?he says. ?With a new government in place, we are hoping that regeneration and development of urban areas will mean more building projects for companies like us.?

With a busy development programme expected for India?s two and three-tier cities, Divakar Construction & Builders is using this forecast as a sign to grow its Potain fleet further. With several upcoming projects already in place, the company?s next investment will be a 5 t capacity Potain MCi 85 A.
