Ireland's Leading Reinforced Concrete Structure SpecialistM.R. Concrete has commissioned the first use of a new generation of hydraulicluffing crane on a construction site. The Potain MRH 175 is ideal for high-risebuilding projects or sites where there are space constraints. The MRH 175delivers an out-of-service radius of 10 metres regardless of jib length and this is exactly the type of crane needed for this project. crane hire
Luffing the crane from horizontal to vertical is efficient,taking less than two minutes, delivering optimum productivity on the job site.The maximum line speed is 215 m per minute when working with thehigh-performance 75HPL25 hoist.
The Project consisted of lifting floors, concrete frames,columns, stairs for an 18 story Highrise in Glasgow, Scotland. The crane waspurchased through Irish crane supplier Irlequip based in Co. Westmeath withsupport from Manitowoc UK. M.R Concrete has been procuring equipment fromIrlequip for over 16 years. crane hire
