If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.




















## General Description
The Potain MDT 219 J10 is a modern topless (flat-top) top-slewing tower crane manufactured by Potain (Manitowoc). It is designed for medium- to large-scale construction projects requiring high lifting capacities, long working radii, and efficient operation in multi-crane environments. The flat-top design simplifies assembly and minimizes interference between adjacent cranes, making it particularly suitable for congested construction sites.
## Main Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Crane Type | Top-slewing topless (flat-top) tower crane |
| Maximum Lifting Capacity | 10 t |
| Maximum Jib Length | 65 m |
| Tip Load at Maximum Radius | 1.9 t |
| Maximum Freestanding Hook Height* | Approximately 70.4 m |
| Rated Load Moment | Approximately 2,000 kNm |
*Depending on tower configuration and local regulations.
## Structural Design
The MDT 219 J10 features a modular lattice tower structure allowing various tower heights and foundation configurations. Its topless design eliminates the traditional tower head and pendant bars, providing several operational advantages:
* Simplified crane erection and dismantling
* Reduced assembly time
* Improved efficiency in multi-crane installations
* Lower risk of jib interference
* Easier replacement of jib sections during assembly
## Hoisting System
The crane is typically equipped with the Potain 50 LVF Optima variable-frequency hoisting winch.
Main characteristics include:
* Variable-speed operation
* Smooth acceleration and deceleration
* Precise load positioning
* Reduced mechanical wear
* High lifting speeds for lighter loads
* Improved energy efficiency
Frequency-controlled drives minimize load oscillation and enhance operator control throughout lifting operations.
## Slewing System
The slewing mechanism is electronically controlled using variable-frequency technology, providing:
* Smooth and continuous slewing
* Accurate positioning
* Reduced dynamic loading
* Improved operational safety, particularly under windy conditions
## Trolley Travel System
The trolley mechanism is frequency-controlled to ensure:
* Precise load positioning
* Smooth acceleration and braking
* Reduced structural stress
* High operating efficiency
## Control System
The MDT 219 J10 is equipped with Potain's Crane Control System (CCS), an advanced digital crane management platform.
Key features include:
* Full-color graphical display
* Integrated diagnostics
* Operating and maintenance information
* Load moment monitoring
* Operating data recording
* User-friendly rotary control interface
* Standardized control philosophy across Potain crane models
Optional equipment may include:
* Potain Plus enhanced load charts
* Top Tracing 3 anti-collision system
* Power Control for reduced electrical demand
* CraneSTAR remote monitoring system
## Lifting Performance
Typical lifting capacities are:
| Working Radius | Capacity |
| -------------- | ------------------- |
| Near the tower | Up to 10 t |
| At 65 m radius | Approximately 1.9 t |
Actual lifting capacities depend on:
* Jib length
* Tower height
* Ballast configuration
* Wind conditions
* Crane configuration
* Applicable operating mode
## Electrical System
Depending on the selected configuration, the crane typically requires:
* Electrical supply: approximately 38–58 kVA
* Variable-frequency drives for all major motions
* Optional Power Control system to reduce peak power demand
## Safety Features
Standard safety equipment includes:
* Rated load moment limiter
* Overload protection
* Hoisting, trolley travel, and slewing limit switches
* Wind-related operating protection
* Electronic operational monitoring
* Emergency stop system
* Integrated fault diagnostics through the CCS platform
## Typical Applications
The Potain MDT 219 J10 is suitable for:
* Residential construction
* Commercial buildings
* Industrial facilities
* High-rise construction
* Bridge construction
* Infrastructure projects
* Multi-crane construction sites
## Key Advantages
* Maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes
* Maximum jib length of 65 m
* High tip load capacity of 1.9 t
* Modern CCS digital control system
* Variable-frequency drive technology for all principal motions
* Fast erection due to topless design
* Excellent suitability for congested job sites
* Energy-efficient operation
* High positioning accuracy and smooth load handling
## Conclusion
The Potain MDT 219 J10 is a high-performance topless tower crane positioned in the medium-to-heavy lifting class. With a rated load moment of approximately 2,000 kNm, a maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes, and a maximum working radius of 65 metres, it is well suited for demanding commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction projects. Its modular design, advanced Crane Control System (CCS), and variable-frequency drive technology provide high productivity, excellent operational precision, and efficient long-term performance on modern construction sites.
