Manitowoc will debut six new models from its
Grove and Potain lines at bauma 2019 in Munich,
Germany, from 8 to 14 April. It will also present
a technology pavilion that highlights a significant
number of customer-focused innovations. While
six cranes will be unveiled at the show, several
additional models on display will give visitors the
chance to see more than 10 new cranes.
The 32nd edition of the construction
equipment trade fair will feature two new
exhibition halls and an optimised outdoor area.
“Since we became a standalone crane
company nearly three years ago, we have
bolstered our new product pipeline, developing
products that our customers want to purchase,”
says Barry Pennypacker, president and CEO of
Manitowoc. “We are confident that the bauma
2019 tradeshow will showcase our ability to
incorporate the voice of the customer into our
cranes.”
Several new Potain cranes will be on the
company’s stand, including those from its
topless tower crane and self-erecting Hup
ranges. For Grove, the company will introduce
new cranes from its all-terrain and rough-
terrain lines. Manitowoc will also present new
technologies for the industry, with one highlight
involving a recent advancement in telematics.
