Yau Lee chooses Potain MR 618 to build new medical facility in Hong Kong

2019-02-11

A Potain MR 618 is building a new private hospital in downtown Hong Kong. Constructing any high-rise building in central Hong Kong poses challenges in terms of space limitations. So, the main contractor Yau Lee Building Construction and Decoration opted for the Potain luffing jib which has both the compact operating capabilities and capacity to handle the work.

The MR 618 was erected at an initial working height of 32.8 m and will reach 101.8 m by the time the building is completed in September 2020. The 32 t capacity crane is fitted with 40 m of its 60 m jib. Its biggest lifts so far were 28 t loads handled at a 16 m radius.

The new medical centre is located on Hong Kong Island and will be dedicated to cancer treatment.
