August 18, 2023

For Tower Crane buyers,It is not just the functionality of the Tower Crane that is required.,Also the durability and residual value of the Tower Crane.。In this regard,Potan tower crane with its excellent quality and lasting stability,Became a trusted choice.。

Let's go through the real comparison.,Look, under the huge time span,,The changes these steel behemoths are undergoing。

The pin in the picture above is from Potain.MC320,Year of production is 2007,It's been 16 years.,It can be seen that the pin hole and the pin fit perfectly.,There is no deformation.。Potham's engineering team has done rigorous calculations.,Control tolerance,Structural design for stress reduction,Even for some components, attention should be paid to the control of the distance from the hole to the end face.,So that it is not easy to deform due to fatigue。After 16 years of use, this Potan tower machine,Its steel structure is still largely intact.,Not affected by rust,This is due to the quality paint of the Potan tower machine.,Excellent workmanship and material control。

Another brand of tower crane was on site just 11 years later.,Due to the problems of steel quality and paint process,There has been a lot of rusting.,May seriously affect the safety of the tower crane。Even if the paint is redone.,Changes in the steel structure can also be seen.。

This tower crane of other brands in 2012,The gear is worn,And rust inside,It may also affect the subsequent service life of the equipment.。

There is no deformation of the 2007 Potain equipment slewing gear at the site.,Because it's greased.,It's probably not that obvious.,But you can see the difference in the details.。

Rust is an important problem of tower crane.,Because it will not only reduce the performance of the tower crane.,It also poses a threat to the safety of the operator。This is the special concern of Potan tower crane in the design and manufacture of its steel structure.。The Potan tower crane is treated with a special anti-corrosion coating.,And high quality steel.,Ensure corrosion resistance,Thereby ensuring the durability and stability of the tower crane.。

Rusty steel structure of other brands of tower crane

Let's look at the advantages of the Potan tower from a more practical point of view.。When you're thinking about buying a used tower crane,You should be concerned about its residual value.。Excellent quality and lasting stability of Potan tower crane,Making it a trusted choice.。Whether new or used.,Potan tower machines offer outstanding performance and value。If you are looking for a reliable brand of tower crane,Then the Potan tower machine is undoubtedly a wise choice.。
