It\u2019s perfect for applications like tower crane assembly; narrow lifts in congested areas; or reaching over buildings to handle HVAC work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CICA Conference regularly attracts the lifting industry\u2019s leading speakers, which this year included Manitowoc\u2019s Andreas Cremer, global product director for all-terrain cranes. He delivered a well-received presentation on the evolution of mobile crane design and also participated in the Manufacturers Panel discussion.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>A new GMK5150L for Tasmania\u2019s Cranes Combined is shown at the industry event while Manitowoc announces two further sales at the show.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Manitowoc also auctioned off a unique model of the crane during the gala dinner. The model was carved by chainsaw from wood and raised A$40,000 for charity.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the final night of the conference the Gala Dinner included an auction of the GMK5150L sculpture, crafted by Melbourne-based chainsaw carver Brandon Kroon. New South Wales-based Borger Cranes, one of Manitowoc\u2019s biggest Australian customers, made the winning bid of A$40,000. All proceeds went to beyondblue, a non-profit charity organization which works to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around depression and anxiety, while also helping to prevent suicides.<\/p>\n<p>The Grove GMK5150L has a maximum capacity of 150 t and a main boom of 60 m which can be extended to 88 m with jib attachments. The crane can be fully permitted, across the whole of Australia, with a 50 t gross vehicle mass. Features include the Crane Control System (CCS), Manitowoc\u2019s user-friendly operator interface with boom configurator mode for quick and easy selection of boom positions.<\/p>\n<p>The GMK5150L is part of Grove\u2019s latest generation of lighter and stronger single engine cranes which feature the widest possible choice in counterweight configurations. This allows users to configure the crane to suit their transport needs without sacrificing unnecessary capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Manitowoc was supported at the CICA Conference 2017 by its Grove and Manitowoc distribution partners from across the country. TRT, which covers Queensland; and RMB Service Group, which covers South Australia, were both present in the exhibition area. WATM Crane Sales &amp; Service, the Grove and Manitowoc dealer for Western Australia, also attended the conference and used the opportunity to promote its remote diagnostics system.<\/p>\n<p>The CICA Conference 2017 took place at the Adelaide Convention Centre from October 19 to 21.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12383\" style=\"width: 3642px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12383\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12383\" src=\"https:\/\/cranemarket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Grove-GMK5150L-crane-ALL-terrain-crane.jpg\" alt=\"The Grove GMK5150L all-terrain crane stole the limelight at this year\u2019s Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA) 2017 Conference.
