Continuous hook coverage and material handling for mid-rise wood framing, townhomes, and high-density residential concrete formwork cycles.
High-density residential projects like multi-unit townhome layouts and four-story wood frame developments face severe spatial logjams when relying on standard mobile cranes that require continuous layout repositioning. Our Potain Igo T130 self-erecting tower crane completely eliminates this friction point by establishing a single, quiet, stationary lifting station that covers the entire job footprint with a 164-foot working radius. Operating silently on clean electric power, this system enables your carpenters to hook prefab wall panels, heavy floor cassettes, and bundled truss packages directly from flatbed transport lines and drop them into place sequentially without daily mobilization delays. This approach cuts multi-family build cycles dramatically while protecting neighboring easements from engine emissions and footprint crowding.
Our team reviews your site drawings, ground bearing capacity, swing radius requirements, and material staging zones to build a complete pre-lift engineering plan before mobilization.
The Potain Igo T130 is towed to site as a compact trailer configuration and unfolds autonomously using integrated hydraulic systems. Erection takes only a few hours on a prepared concrete slab or engineered timber mat.
Our certified operator calibrates load charts, confirms radio remote control systems, and coordinates directly with your framing foreman to align hook cycles with your carpentry crew's workflow.
With the crane stationary and covering the full site footprint, your crews lift framing packages, plywood panels, floor cassettes, and truss bundles on demand - no machine repositioning, no delays.
Every morning begins with operator log verification, load chart review, and wind speed monitoring. Ministry of Labour compliance is maintained throughout the full project duration.
Once framing and formwork cycles are complete, the crane folds back to its compact trailer configuration and departs cleanly - leaving your site clear for the next trade sequence without disruption.
"Ontario Cranes showed up on time, had the lift planned perfectly, and finished 2 hours ahead of schedule. The operator was professional and clearly knew what he was doing. Will be using them again on our next project."
"We needed a crane on short notice for a tricky residential lift in Ancaster. They made it happen within 48 hours. Equipment was in great shape and the crew was excellent. Highly recommend."
Get continuous hook coverage across your entire multi-unit site. Our Potain Igo T130 eliminates repositioning delays and keeps your crews moving from first floor to final deck.
