Grove GMK6300L-1 delivered to Rókin Sp/f on the Faroe Islands
- Rókin Sp/f boosts its capabilities with a powerful Grove GMK6300L-1, ready for demanding harbor and infrastructure projects on the Faroe Islands.
- The crane delivers top performance with its 300 t capacity and 80 m main boom, built for tough coastal conditions.
- Sold and fully supported by UN Mobilkraner A/S, ensuring expert service and reliable on‑site assistance.
A new Grove GMK6300L-1 all-terrain crane was delivered to Rókin Sp/f, one of the leading construction companies on the Faroe Islands. The handover marks a significant step for Rókin, which has traditionally relied on rented cranes for project-based work and is now strengthening its capabilities with a powerful, versatile machine of its own. The GMK6300L-1 is not only the newest addition to Rókin’s fleet – it is also the largest crane currently operating on the Faroe Islands, setting a new benchmark for lifting capability in the region.
Rókin specialises in harbor construction, drilling, piling, woodworking, storage, and related infrastructure work. The company’s existing fleet includes excavators, rollers, vibrators and loading cranes – but notably no mobile crane until now. With growing project demands and an expanding construction portfolio, the GMK6300L-1 provides Rókin with the flexibility and lifting performance required for complex coastal and industrial tasks across the islands.
Immediately after arriving on the islands, the GMK6300L-1 was deployed directly to its first job in a local harbor, where it successfully supported essential lifting operations. The crane demonstrated its strength, reach and precision from day one, proving its value for coastal working conditions that require reliability, power and stability.
The GMK6300L-1 offers a 300 t maximum lifting capacity and an impressive 80 m main boom, making it ideal for challenging terrains and demanding lifting operations. Combined with Grove’s renowned reliability and robust design, the crane is exceptionally well suited for the Faroe Islands’ harsh weather conditions.
The crane was sold by UN Mobilkraner A/S, Manitowoc’s official dealer in Denmark. UN Mobilkraner A/S will also provide ongoing local support and service, ensuring Rókin receives expert assistance, maintenance, and responsive technical backing throughout the crane’s lifecycle. The company’s strong customer service approach ensures the crane is always ready for efficient operation.

Holger Haber, sales manager for Scandinavia at Manitowoc and Jørgen Andersen, sales manager at UN Mobilkraner, welcomed Rókin representatives Trúgvi and Búgvi Kjell to the Manitowoc factory in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, earlier this year, where they received training and insights into Grove technology.
“We are proud to support Rókin with this high performance crane and are confident that the GMK6300L-1 will be a valuable asset for future projects. With UN Mobilkraner A/S providing comprehensive support, Rókin has a strong service partner to ensure maximum uptime and operational safety,” said Holger Haber.
With the addition of the Grove GMK6300L-1, Rókin strengthens its capabilities for upcoming infrastructure and harbor development projects in the Faroe Islands – backed by Grove engineering and the dedicated support of UN Mobilkraner A/S.
