Potain : l’histoire d’un fleuron français leader mondial de la Grue avalé ENCORE UNE FOIS

Potain. A name that dominated the construction site skyline for decades. In this video, I recount the complete history of Potain, from its artisanal origins in France to its status as a world leader in tower cranes, including its major innovations, industrial expertise, and technical dominance between the 1960s and 1990s. But this story is also that of a French flagship company gradually absorbed by the logic of large corporations, in a context of globalization and industrial consolidation. Potain still exists, and so do its cranes. Yet, one question remains: 👉 Are we still talking about a French industrial heritage, or a diluted legacy? This video is for construction professionals, enthusiasts of heavy machinery, engineering, and industrial history, and those who have seen these machines on construction sites—or who appreciate their legacy today.
