GROVE LAUNCHS NEW FIVE-AXLE ALL-TERRAIN CRANES
After successful demonstrations and launch into the European market, three new all-terrain models from Grove will be landing Down Under soon. GROVE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THE release of two new models in its five-axle range. The models are the GMK5120L, a five-axle long boom taxi crane with a capacity of 120t and the GMK5150XL, rated at 150t with a new longer 68.7m boom. Neil Hollingshead, sales director, mobile cranes, Manitowoc Cranes Australia, confirmed that the first of the Grove GMK5150XLs had already been ordered. Always looking for a competitive edge, Frank Zammit, owner of Two Way Cranes, was first to put his name on the new model. The new models were launched to the 10 / CAL January 2022
European market throughout September and October 2021, with multiple customer events staged at Manitowoc’s Wilhelmshaven facility in northern Germany. Guests were treated to factory tours showcasing the latest operational improvements, live demonstrations, and presentations of the company’s all-terrain crane range. GROVE GMK5120L The 120t capacity Grove GMK5120L offers long reach with stand-out 66m main boom. With this versatile all-terrain crane, Grove expands its all-terrain range
with another brand new taxi crane. Customers benefit from greater flexibility and low transportation costs. The allterrain crane can easily carry a classleading amount of counterweight – no matter if counterweight configurations for 10t or 12t per axle are required. With compact dimensions of just 14.195m overall length and 2.75m width, the GMK5120L offers superb access to jobsites, versatility with Grove’s MAXbase outrigger positioning, and great maneuverability resulting from Grove’s Megatrak independent suspension. www.cranesandlifting.com.au
