Grove launches two five-axle all-terrain cranes

Grove has launched two five-axle, all-terrain cranes – the Grove GMK5120L and the Grove GMK5150XL.

The 120 t capacity Grove GMK5120L offers long reach with its extraordinary 66 m main boom. With this versatile all-terrain crane, Grove expands its all-terrain range with another outstanding taxi crane. Customers benefit from greater flexibility and low transportation costs. The all-terrain crane can easily carry a class-leading amount of counterweight – no matter if counterweight configurations for 10 t, 12 t or 16.5 t per axle are required. 

With compact dimensions of just 14.195 m overall length and 2.75 m width, the GMK5120L offers superb access to jobsites, complemented with great maneuverability resulting from Grove’s Megatrak independent suspension.

The Grove GMK5150XL all-terrain crane provides increased capacity and a boom length that surpasses most 220 t machines in the market. This new model is redefining the five-axle, 150 t class by offering almost 69 m of main boom. 

At 68.7 m it can handle 8.1 t, at 66 m it lifts 9.4 t and at almost 60 m it lifts an incredible 12.7 t. These load charts are truly unmatched in the market. The GMK5150XL crane’s taxi charts are also best in class, ensuring easy roadability and transport savings. In addition, interchangeable counterweight slabs with the GMK5120L, and all Grove 150 t cranes simplify logistics and handling.

Furthermore, its flexible range of counterweight configurations enable setups tailored to different customer needs. Taxi configurations start from just 1 t of counterweight. For configurations maintaining 12 t per axle, the GMK5150XL can carry up to 10.2 t of counterweight. Also, the heavy roadable counterweight configuration (16.5 t/axle) makes it possible to drive with an outstanding 30.9 t of counterweight on board.

The new Grove model boasts compact dimensions that other five-axle cranes can only dream of. At just 2.75 m wide, it can effortlessly access the narrowest of jobsites, and with MAXbase, optimizing crane setup and lifting position is efficient and easy. 

Both the GMK5120L and the GMK5150XL come with the new generation of Grove carrier cabs, providing increased operator comfort and convenience.  The new carrier cab design seats the operator an extra 235 mm away from the centerline, enhancing visibility and maneuverability.
