Grove Achieves Milestone with Delivery of 100th GMK5250L Load Chart

Grove has reached a significant milestone in the development of its GMK5250L load chart, with the delivery of the 100th unit to Armbuster Autokran-Vermeitung, a company based in Pilezhausen. The delivery took place in 2016 and marks an important achievement for Grove, just one year after introducing the new single-engine crane.

The GMK5250L is a highly advanced crane that features a number of innovative technologies designed to improve its performance and versatility. These include all-wheel steering, Megatrak independent suspension, and the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) system, which has already been featured on larger Grove cranes such as the GMK6300L and GMK6400.

One of the key features of the GMK5250L is its ability to travel with its full counterweight in place, making it ideal for use on construction projects where space is limited. The crane also has an optional self-rigging auxiliary hoist that eliminates the need for an assist crane, providing greater flexibility and ease of operation.

The GMK5250L is designed to be highly mobile and can travel with 21 tonnes of counterweight onboard in countries with higher axle loadings. This makes it particularly well-suited to use in countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, Norway, Australia, and Japan, which have stricter axle loading requirements.

In addition to its advanced features and mobility, the GMK5250L also boasts a newly designed superstructure cab that provides improved ergonomics and control. The crane's Crane Control System and Boom Configuration Mode allow operators to easily input lift parameters such as radius, load, and distance to be moved, and then calculates the best boom configuration and automatically extends it to the required length.

The delivery of the 100th GMK5250L to Armbuster Autokran-Vermeitung marks an important milestone in the development of this highly advanced crane. With its impressive features and capabilities, the GMK5250L is sure to play a key role in a wide range of construction and other projects across the UK.
