New Potain Hup self-erecting crane

Potain has launched the new Hup 40-30 following the launch of the Hup 32-27 at Bauma earlier this year.

Second model in the new Hup range, the 40-30 has a four tonne maximum capacity, lifting 1.1 tonnes at tts maximum 40 metre jib tip. As with the Hup 32-27, the 40-30 features a three section telescopic mast, giving a range of hook heights from 25.6 metres to 30 metres. In transport mode the crane measures 14 metres long.

The jib luffs 10 and 20 degrees above horizontal giving a maximum under hook height range of 20 to 40 metres. The company says that ‘shortening or extending the jib is a swift and straightforward operation with convenient configurations for both short and long jib lengths’. Deliveries will start in early 2017.

The remote control unit - similar to the Hup 32-27 - features a large colour screen with easy-to-use navigation via a jog dial. It has simplified, on-screen step-by-step information during crane erection as part of the new Smart Set Up software and has three operating profiles which allow the operator to vary the working speed of the crane to suit the application.

We have introduced several new features that will increase speed, efficiency and versatility for our customers. These advancements will certainly increase return on investment for many lifters.”
