TRT delivers first Potain Igo MA 21 into New Zealand

8/17/2015

Manitowoc’s dealer for New Zealand, Tidd Ross Todd Ltd., has delivered the first Potain Igo MA 21 self-erecting crane into the country. While self-erecting cranes remain relatively uncommon in the country, one local contractor has found the Igo MA 21 to be a perfect solution in terms of mobility, suitability and worker welfare.

Richard Mackley, general manager of Arrowtown-based, The Builders.co.nz Ltd., said his company’s purchase of the crane was made after careful consideration, as it was not only the company’s first Igo M purchase, but also its first crane purchase of any kind.
