Walsemann & Sommer purchases first Grove crane
“We are extremely impressed with the GMK6400 and its short rigging time and strong lifting capacity from the main boom and luffing jib especially with the MegaWingLift capacity-enhancing attachment ” says Sommer. “And the price-performance ratio is excellent compared with others.”
The crane boasts a 60 m main boom and 79 m luffing jib. It also features a single engine and the MegaDrive hydrostatic drive. The crane is popular for wind turbine assembly and maintenance work.
“Customers want the best possible crane in every class ” says Manitowoc’s Central Europe sales director Erdo Arslan. “The GMK6400 performs lifts that no other rival crane can. It delivers maximum return on investment for the customer. We are incredibly proud of this crane.”
