Manitowoc Debuts Potain Evy 28-21 Self-Erecting Crane
The new 2.2-tonne crane offers rapid deployment and advanced telemetry for compact residential construction sites. www.manitowoc.com Manitowoc will unveil the new Potain Evy 28-21 self-erecting crane at the upcoming Batimat 2026 construction trade show in Paris. Engineered specifically for residential construction, carpentry, and roofing applications, the 2.2-tonne capacity crane combines practical lifting performance with rapid, efficient jobsite deployment. It is fully compliant with the upcoming European standard EN 14439:2025 for tower crane safety, which comes into effect in January 2027. The Evy 28-21 features a maximum capacity of 2.2 tonnes and a tip load of 950 kg at its 28-meter jib end when utilizing the built-in P+ function. It provides a standard horizontal working height of 21 meters, with three luffing options to raise the jib to 10°, 20°, or 30°, achieving a maximum hook height of 32.3 meters at the steepest incline. To streamline logistics, the entire counterweight can be transported on a single truck. On-site assembly is automated via Smart Set-Up remote guidance, while the on-board Crane Control System (CCS) ensures smooth and precise operation. Fleet management is handled by the integrated Potain CONNECT™ platform, which offers remote diagnostics and centralized equipment tracking. Manitowoc will also showcase new support accessories at Batimat, including the PowerBoost™ battery system for self-erecting cranes and crane-mounted camera systems. Additional Context This section provides technological and market background not explicitly detailed in the original release. Self-erecting tower cranes (SETCs) are becoming increasingly vital in urban residential construction due to their small footprint, low noise emissions, and ability to be deployed rapidly without requiring a massive mobile assist crane. The Evy 28-21’s ability to luff its jib up to 30 degrees is particularly critical on tight jobsites, allowing the crane to clear surrounding buildings, trees, or other obstacles without needing a taller, more expensive mast. Furthermore, the integration of telematics platforms like Potain CONNECT allows fleet managers to proactively monitor load cycles and electrical system health remotely, shifting maintenance from a reactive to a predictive model. The forthcoming EN 14439:2025 standard mandates stricter requirements for structural calculations, wind load resilience, and control system redundancies, making the Evy 28-21 a future-proof investment for European equipment rental fleets.
