Third MCi 85 for Shree Balaji

Indian construction and real estate company Shree Balaji Construction has taken delivery of its third Potain MCi 85 A tower crane.

The five tonne MCi 85 A has a maximum jib length of 50 metres and a maximum under hook height of 34.5 metres. At its jib tip it can lift up to 1.3 tonnes. The company said it chose the crane due to its easy assembly and internal climbing ability, making it especially suitable for job sites that have limited space. It can also fit in most standard lift shafts and be erected within the confined limits.

The company purchased its first MCi 85 A shortly after it was established in 2012, adding its second last August. All three cranes are currently being used on residential and commercial high-rise construction projects across Mumbai, India. A fourth MCi 85 has also been ordered, which is scheduled to be delivered to a project in Kanjurmarg, close to Mumbai.

Shree Balaji a partner Diptesh Shah said: “The MCi 85 A is the perfect solution for crowded urban construction sites. We have been pleased with its performance and reliability, and that’s why we made this latest purchase. As a company, we have standardised on Potain cranes and I am pleased to say that we have received excellent service from our local dealer in Mumbai. We haven’t experienced any problems to date, but I am certain that if we have an issue, the Potain team will solve it.”

Based in Ahmedabad, Shree Balaji Construction has seen exponential growth over the last three years and it currently has a backlog of $110 million.
