Last month, the Potain Hup 40-30 crane was presented at international earth-moving and building machinery exhibition, SaMoTer, in Verona, Italy. Verona-based Potain dealer, Toffoli Macchine exhibited the pioneering crane, alongside the Hup 32-27 and Igo 21.

The Hup models are part of a new generation of self-erecting cranes, which boast a range of innovative design and technology features. Agile, versatile, and with several configuration options, the Hup 40-30 offers a high-performance slewing radius, a 40 m jib and a maximum capacity of 4 t.

The Hup 40-30 was officially launched at the Manitowoc factory in Niella Tanaro, Italy, in September 2016. Several months earlier, the Hup 32-27 was launched at bauma 2016. Just like the Hup 40-30 crane, the Hup 32-27 provides superior lifting capacity at tall heights, and is well-suited to space-restricted job sites, increasing productivity for owners.

“In Italy, recovery after a slowdown in the construction industry is gradually strengthening,” said Claudio Mozzini, sales manager of Toffoli Macchine. “Potain cranes and particularly the new Hup models were a key attraction for visitors to our booth at this year’s SaMoTer.”

The 30^th edition of SaMoTer was attended by more than 450 companies from 23 countries and 110 trade delegations from 28 countries. The exhibition, which ran from 22-25 February 2017, also played host to Italian Grove cranes distributor FIMI, which presented five cranes.
