PSG MARINE & LOGISTICS TAKES DELIVERY OF THE FIRST GROVE GRT8100-1 TO ARRIVE IN THE UK

Scottish marine services company, PSG Marine & Logistics (PSG), has received the first Grove GRT8100-1 rough-terrain crane in the UK. PSG is a leading provider of lifting, transport, and logistics services to the offshore and marine sectors in the Scottish Highlands. The crane is being used to support quayside logistical activities for companies in the marine, offshore oil and gas, and offshore wind energy industries.

PSG ordered the crane during the Vertikal Days 2023 exhibition in Peterborough, England. The company has a long history of working with Grove cranes and was particularly interested in the new GRT8100-1 for its efficiency and time-saving benefits, plus its strong pick-and-carry capabilities.

Crowland Cranes is a long-time supporter of PSG. As PSG’s regional Grove dealer, the company worked with Manitowoc Cranes UK sales manager Derek Kidd to supply the latest crane.

The 100 t capacity GRT8100-1 features a 47 m main boom, with up to 72.9 m of maximum tip height when using the optional jib. It provides the best load charts in its class. The crane combines the wide cab and carrier of the 120 t capacity Grove GRT8120 with the superstructure of the GRT8100. This enables the crane to deliver improved operations, easier servicing, and jobsite flexibility. Additionally, it is equipped with a value package, which includes a 10.1 m – 17.1 m offsettable bi-fold lattice swingaway extension, a 360° mechanical positive swing lock, and an Auxiliary Hoist Package.
