KAMBETON owns an all-Grove fleet of mobile cranes having purchased its first back in 1997, a Grove GMK4070 which is still in use. This latest addition will support various projects across Turkey, particularly construction projects using precast concrete sections.
The crane was chosen for its excellent versatility and will be used to lift loads ranging from 2 t to 70 t, and measuring 3 m up to 33 m. For most of its projects, KAMBETON will rig the crane with 31 m of boom and 30 t of counterweight to create the optimal configuration. Aside from its impressive load-handling capabilities, the crane was also chosen for its maneuverability and its ability to navigate tight spaces on congested job sites.
The crane was ordered without a jib or auxiliary hoist, to ensure it has the most compact configuration to make negotiating tight spaces even easier. Another customization was the inclusion of modifications, including additional hydraulic coolers, to ensure the crane delivers top-notch performance even in the middle of Turkey’s oppressively hot summers.
“We have relied on Grove cranes for over two decades, and we love their performance and reliability. The GMK5120L is a valuable addition to our fleet, offering versatility in tight spaces and strength for large, prefabricated elements. Given our extensive experience with Grove cranes, we are confident the GMK5120L will serve our needs for many years,” said Rıza Penahi, general manager of KAMBETON.
