Potain’s impressive new Igo M 24-19 self-erecting crane will be one of several high-profile self-erecting cranes on the Manitowoc booth at bauma 2025 from April 7-13 in Munich, Germany. This innovative model was initially introduced to French audiences at Batimat 2024 in Paris this September but will now be showcased to a global audience for the first time.

Replacing Potain’s top-selling Igo M 14, the Igo M 24-19 is ideal for new home construction and renovations, making it an excellent choice for builders and carpenters. The new model features a compact design, measuring just 11.83 m in length when folded, allowing it to easily access narrow and restricted jobsites. 

The Igo M 24-19 offers three jib configurations—12.3 m, 21 m, and the full 24 m—providing the versatility to adapt to various jobsite requirements. It comes with a permanent ballast installed and features three steering axle options for travel: a 25 km/h tow bar, an 80 km/h tow bar, and a fifth wheel for maximum flexibility. 

With a maximum capacity of 1.8 t, the crane can lift up to 570 kg at its maximum jib length of 24 m, and it has a hook height of 19 m. Additionally, it can operate in a raised jib position of 11° or 20° for increased height under the hook when needed. 

The new model includes the latest upgrades for Potain self-erecting cranes, including the following standard capabilities: 

• Smart Set-up: Remote-controlled guidance for automatic folding and unfolding of the crane.

• Potain Crane Control System (CCS): Maximizes lifting performance, improves operator ergonomics, and increases jobsite flexibility.

• Drive Control: Provides complete control and precision lifting on the jobsite.

• Power Control: Adaptable power supply for versatility. 

• Steering Axle: Enhances maneuverability for optimal performance in tight spaces.

The crane also includes the Potain CONNECT™ telematics system, which provides remote diagnostics, advanced analytics, and fleet management information to maximize uptime and optimize crane utilization. There are other productivity options too, including an onboard generator for power independence on jobsites, hydraulic leveling for simplified crane setup, Potain Plus load curve software that significantly enhances load chart capabilities, and the Top Site working range limiter.

“We can't wait to reveal the Potain Igo M 24-19 at bauma 2025 and give it its global debut. This crane is all about enhancing compactness, mobility, performance, and productivity, ensuring our customers get the most out of their investment,” said Rémi Deporte, self-erecting cranes product manager at Manitowoc.
