CST Transporte expands fleet with Grove GMK5200-1 to support high-performance lifting operations
- German crane rental company continues its investment in Grove cranes, strengthening a fleet that already includes a GMK4090-1.
- The new 200 t capacity all-terrain crane delivers strong, versatile performance across construction, precast concrete assembly, and energy projects.
- The innovative Grove CONNECT™ telematics system was a key factor in the purchase decision.
Crane rental company CST Transporte has expanded its fleet with a new Grove GMK5200-1 all-terrain crane supplied through KranAgentur Werner. Based in Wildeck, Germany, CST Transporte has renewed its trust in Grove’s proven technology, strengthening its fleet, which already includes a GMK4090-1.
The new 200 t capacity GMK5200-1 will be used across a wide range of applications, including construction, precast concrete installation, engineering and energy projects, where CST Transporte has extensive experience.
A major factor in the company’s investment decision was the crane’s strong lifting performance, which enables efficient handling and installation of heavy precast concrete elements and the ability to drive with its full 70 t counterweight on the jobsite, which reduces setup times and improves overall jobsite efficiency.
For even greater flexibility, CST Transporte purchased the GMK5200-1 with an 18 m hydraulic bi-fold swingaway jib to expand its scope of work. It also added the working light package with additional LED lights to illuminate the area around the crane, plus storage boxes on the superstructure and carrier to provide ample space for slings and other lifting accessories.
CST Transporte will harness the crane’s built-in Grove CONNECT™ telematics system, providing real-time access to machine data to support preventive maintenance, improve fleet visibility, and enable simplified, more efficient communication with service teams. Further strengthening support for CST Transporte is Manitowoc’s local customer support network, which includes the German aftermarket headquarters in Lagenfeld, and a team of well-equipped mobile service technicians to ensure rapid response and maximum uptime.
“The Grove GMK5200-1 is a perfect fit for our operations. Its strong lifting capacities are crucial for our work in concrete and precast construction, and the ability to move the crane when rigged with a full counterweight provides us with a real efficiency gain. With Grove CONNECT™, we also have access to important machine data at all times and benefit from significantly simplified communication with the service team — a clear value add for our daily operations,” says Christian Schug, owner of CST Transporte.
CST Transporte supports customers across construction and infrastructure projects with modern equipment. In addition to crane rental, CST offers a range of construction services, supporting projects from planning through execution. The latest investment in a Grove GMK5200-1 underscores its commitment to delivering efficient, reliable lifting solutions for demanding applications.

GMK5200-1
THE MOST POWERFUL CRANE IN ITS CLASS
The GMK5200-1 is the most powerful crane in its class with a 64 m main boom. The - optional - VIAB turbo coupling enables wear-free starting and braking.
Grove's single-engine concept meets the latest emission standards while lowering running costs with 30% less diesel consumption than older models.
The simple logistics due to the exchangeable, self-rigging auxiliary hoist and the exchangeable counterweights (with GMK5180-1, GMK5250L-1, GMK5250XL-1, and GMK6300L-1) are outstanding. -
GMK4090-1
Compact and strong.
With the new GMK4090-1 you can access narrow jobsites and utilize a more compact radius to gain a better position for lift performance. Its compact size provides excellent jobsite flexibility.
The GMK4090-1 offers outstanding load charts and is outfitted with 10,2 t taxi counterweight on 12 t/axle. The remaining counterweight needed to reach full capacity fits on one standard trailer.
