The photographs (1-3) clearly show that
the Potain IGO is easy to assemble.
POTAIN’S
IGO
ideal for smaller jobs
Contractors wanting a quick, easy and efficient solution to their lifting
and moving requirements on smaller building sites, and perhaps even
the larger ones, will find a friend in Potain’s IGO self-erecting crane.
N
ow available in the rental fleet
of SA French, South Africa’s
Potain distributor, the IGO
boasts superb ease of
movement and simple
erection, making it an easier and less
expensive option than a conventional
tower crane.
With capacity to lift a maximum of
four tonnes, and one tonne at 40m, the
Potain IGO crane can be dismantled,
erected and commissioned in just six to
seven hours. The installation of the ballast

does not need to be performed by a
mobile crane, as this can be done
independently by means of a frame beam.
The IGO is particularly popular for lifting
applications at projects such as small
apartment blocks, and supplementary
lifting on construction projects such as
shopping centres. It isn’t even necessary to
employ a truck crane to move the crane
around a building site; an ordinary freight
truck will do the trick, thanks to its
compact size. The crane can also be used
as an auxiliary unit on high-rise projects.
