CEER Res Omnia, a long-standing Potain partner, has completed the complex installation of a Potain MDT 809 tower crane at the Borgo Roma Hospital construction site in Verona. The crane will be a pivotal component of the hospital’s retrofitting project, scheduled to continue through 2028.
The tower crane was mounted on a lattice structure approximately 44 meters above ground level and configured with 20 meters of masts and a 45-meter jib. The MDT 809, among the most powerful models in the Potain tower crane range, offers a maximum lifting capacity of 40 tons, with a 20-ton capacity at the jib tip, making it ideally suited for the demanding lifting requirements of this project.
A key element of the installation involved designing and building a metal lattice structure capable of supporting the crane and allowing it to be repositioned across four separate locations during the project. The system, engineered by CIMOLAI, a specialist in large-scale steel fabrication, featured a custom-designed metal trolley. The crane’s stability at each stage was carefully assessed by Manitowoc’s Lift Solutions team, working in close collaboration with Gianluigi Consolaro, Service Director for Manitowoc Italy, and Vincenzo Bassi, Owner of CEER Res Omnia.
“This was a demanding yet highly rewarding assignment. Installing a crane of this magnitude on a lattice structure at rooftop level is an uncommon undertaking. The logistical constraints, limited space, and need for absolute precision presented significant challenges. The collaboration among all parties was exceptional, and witnessing the crane completed and rising above the skyline was a gratifying culmination of our efforts.”
Said Luca Salomoni, team leader of the assembly crew.
The Potain MDT 809 will lift and position metal frameworks, reinforcement elements, and structural materials essential to the consolidation and seismic enhancement of the hospital complex. Assembly operations began in mid-September under the coordination of Imola Gru, another long-standing Potain partner. The installation was completed in approximately four working days. Despite tight space constraints and complex logistics, the operation was completed on schedule, with each phase executed with notable precision. A sequential truck delivery system allowed for step-by-step unloading and assembly, streamlining the workflow while maintaining high safety standards on site.
