Limestone mine in Turkey hails rock-solid performance of Grove GRT8120

Yil-Mer uses the first Grove GRT8120 in Turkey, the largest rough-terrain crane in the country, in its limestone mine. The crane was sold through Karun Makina, ensuring efficient operations.

“The Grove GRT8120 is performing well for Yil-Mer. It’s a very tough workplace, but the GRT8120 is right at home. There is already a strong reputation for Grove rough-terrain cranes in Turkey, and several GRT880 and GRT8100 cranes are at work. But this is the first GRT8120 and we expect its performance to generate further interest. Manitowoc has a strong partner in Turkey, with Karun Makina, and customers know they’ll get all the service and support they need to keep their cranes working on the jobsite,” Paulo Costa, Manitowoc’s regional sales manager for mobile cranes in the Middle East, said.

The 120 t capacity Grove GRT8120 offers some of the most impressive characteristics of any two-axle rough-terrain crane on the market. As well as huge lifting capability, the crane has a seven-section, 60 m MEGAFORM™ boom, with up to 80.8 m of tip height when using the optional jib.




It also offers the option of the MAXbase system, allowing greater flexibility with a variable outrigger positioning system to perform very well on congested jobsites. A wide, full-vision cab with 20° tilt maximizes comfort and visibility, and the operator further benefits from Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) that includes the Boom Configurator mode for simpler set-up and on-board lift planning.
