IN FOCUS / GROVE ALL TERRAINS
GROVE 5 AXLE CRANES CONTINUE TO DELIVER FOR BORGER Grove all terrains are still playing an integral role in the expansion plans for Borger Cranes and Rigging Services. FOR MORE THAN A DECADE GROVE ALL terrains have been integral to the Borger Cranes fleet. General manager, Shawn Borger explains why Groves are popular with the business and why he continues to invest in new models. “Grove all terrains have been integral to the success of our business since 2005. We have invested in capacities that suit the general lifting work our business is contracted to manage. You could call them the work horses of the business. Every day, we mobilise them to help with countless projects
including the construction tower cranes, work on construction sites, and to lift whatever our customers need lifting. As far as we are concerned, Groves all terrains are excellent all-rounders,” said Borger. “Over the last 12 months, we have taken delivery of six new Groves, two GMK5250XL-1s and four GMKs 5150Ls for a total of seven 150s and four 250s overall. This takes the number of Groves in our fleet to 27. As the industry well knows, Borger Cranes and Rigging Services is expanding rapidly and these new models will be deployed across our growing number of depots including
Sydney, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley,” he said. With its 78.5m main boom, the Grove GMK5250XL-1 has the longest main boom in the 250t class. Combining high capacities up to 250t with excellent manoeuvrability, the GMK5250XL-1 can perform a multitude of jobs, ensuring high return on investment. With its single engine design and EUROMOT emission levels, the all terrain crane meets the latest regulation. This is especially important as construction companies are increasing their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. The
