MCH 125

NEW REVOLUTIONARY TOPLESS CONCEPT

Potain Center of Excellence expertise for the best crane performance NEW! VVH: Luffing Hydraulic System The jib luffing generated by an exclusive new hydraulic cylinder Power consumption lower than conventional luffing mechanism: requires a smaller generator than competitive models to lower your operating costs Complete luffing of the jib in 2 min with VVH Luffing System.

The MCH 125 luffing jib crane is a game-changer for congested job sites, offering superior performance, exceptional adaptability, and a strong return on investment. Designed with Potain's cutting-edge technology, this crane sets new standards in efficiency and ease of use.

Innovative Luffing Hydraulic System

At the heart of the MCH 125 is its revolutionary VVH Luffing Hydraulic System, which uses an exclusive new hydraulic cylinder to control the jib luffing. This advanced system reduces power consumption compared to conventional luffing mechanisms, allowing for the use of a smaller generator, and significantly lowering operating costs. With the VVH Luffing System, the jib can achieve a full range of motion within just two minutes, maximizing productivity on site.

Fast and Easy Installation

The MCH 125 is engineered for the fastest installation of any luffing jib crane. Many components, including the hydraulic system, hoisting winch, maintenance derrick, and wind side plate, are pre-installed at the factory. This comprehensive pre-assembly eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site adjustments, such as installing luffing wire ropes. The crane also features a unique pre-installed wind-sail configuration that requires no modifications, regardless of jib length. These innovations dramatically reduce setup time and labor costs.

Optimized for Constrained Job Sites

The MCH 125 excels in confined spaces with its ability to raise the jib to a near-vertical position, providing an impressive 87° luffing capacity. The crane’s compact design features a short 7-meter counter-jib and a minimal out-of-service weathervaning radius of 13.5 meters, making it ideal for congested urban environments. Additionally, the cab can be installed on either side of the crane, allowing it to be positioned closer to buildings and other structures.

Cost-Effective Transport and Investment

Transportation of the MCH 125 is streamlined, with the entire upper assembly requiring only four containers or trucks. The compact dimensions of the counter-jib and jib foot enhance transportability, reducing logistics costs. This crane is compatible with standard 1.6-meter or 2-meter L-mast systems, optimizing fleet management and offering the best return on investment for urban construction projects.
