The Grove GMK5150XL all-terrain crane provides increased capacity and boom length. 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 at 12.7 t. The GMK5150XL crane’s taxi charts ensure easy roadability and transport savings. In addition, interchangeable counterweight slabs with the GMK5120L, and all Grove 150 t cranes simplify logistics and handling.
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 features compact dimensions. At just 2.75 m wide, it can access narrow jobsites, and with MAXbase, optimizing crane setup and lifting position is facilitated.
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.
