Since July 2020, a Grove GMK5150L all-terrain crane has been at work assembling and disassembling powerful drilling rigs for Colombia’s hydrocarbon sector, lifting parts and structures of up to 50 t for demanding operations in hard to access locations. The crane has been a reliable workhorse for Central Trenec, a Bogotá-based company specializing in support services for the oil and gas industry.

Following the announcement in France of the R.495 recommendation, calling for all cranes above 30 m high to incorporate a mast elevator, many tower crane owners have sought to include this equipment in their investment plans. Although it is only a recommendation, the safety and comfort of crane operators are vital, as are the smooth running and productivity of the site.

Between October 7 and 9, Manitowoc will bring the latest additions to the Grove mobile crane range to booth F8-H5 at the GIS exhibition in Piacenza, Italy.

With the launch of the Grove GHC110, Manitowoc has added a crucial machine to the top end of its growing telescoping crawler crane range.

Since the launch of the Grove GRT655 and GRT655L rough-terrain cranes in 2017, they have proven a popular model on jobsites around the world because of their flexibility.

Manitowoc’s facility in Zhangjiagang, China, is continuing to respond to customer demand for powerful yet compact and cost-effective tower cranes with the introduction of a new model towards the lower end of its growing topless Potain range.

Maxim Crane Works has started receiving the first units from a sizable 51-crane order from Manitowoc.

Manitowoc is experiencing high demand for Potain tower cranes in China and is on track to sell significantly more units this year than in 2020.

Since Liverpool and Manchester-based John Sutch Cranes took delivery of the UK’s first Grove GMK5200-1 from Manitowoc in July 2020, the five-axle 200 t all-terrain crane has proved a very busy model for the mobile crane rental and contract lifting specialist.

Following its successful market launch at Bauma 2019, the Potain MDT 809 has arrived on several construction sites in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe. Since December 2019, the brand’s largest topless crane to date has extended one of the world’s most famous skylines as it helps to reconstruct the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.
