crane played a pivotal role in the expansion of the University of Rochester Medical Center, a project that demanded both heavy lifting and surgical precision. The J560 was chosen for its high load capacity— up to 32 tons— and its ability to operate with minimal swing radius, a crucial factor given the proximity to existing hospital facilities.
“ The J560’ s reliability and technical capabilities allowed us to maintain a fast-paced construction schedule while adhering to stringent safety protocols,” the project manager said.“ The crane’ s modular design facilitated rapid assembly and reconfiguration as the project progressed, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.”

Tower Cranes( now part of the Raimondi Group) is the electric CTL 702-32 luffing jib tower crane.
Meeting Demands Potain, a Manitowoc company, has introduced the MCR 505 J25 luffing jib tower crane to the U. S. market. The crane features a maximum capacity of 25 tons and a compact counter-jib design.
Designed for performance and adaptability, according to Potain’ s product manager for North America, the MCR 505 J25 operates efficiently in tight urban corridors. Its optimized luffing mechanism enables rapid changes in jib angle, essential for work alongside existing structures. On a project in San Francisco, for example, the crane was utilized to lift preassembled mechanical systems onto the roof of a hospital expansion without disrupting day-to-day operations.
