We were particularly attracted to the 70 m main boom and the flexibility in counterweight configuration, which works better for our transport operation than other solutions on the market. Since taking delivery of the unit in August, it has been continuously employed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 250 t capacity crane offers several unique innovations and class-leading capabilities, including the best reach and strongest load chart of any five-axle crane. The \u201cL\u201d designation for the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> indicates it is a long boom all-terrain crane, and in this case the main boom is an impressive 70 m, which also includes Grove\u2019s Megaform shaping for better strength and stability. With its long boom length, the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> can offer more reach both vertically and horizontally than any crane in its class, allowing owners to take on a greater range of jobs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><em>Class-leading 70 m boom offers unmatched reach and strength.<\/em><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><em>Flexible configurations mean the company can use the crane for more tasks.<\/em><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><em>Crane is easier to prepare for road travel than the 200 t capacity crane it\u2019s replacing.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> is also far better suited to the road regulations of NSW than the 200 t capacity unit it replaces. This, combined with flexibility in configuration, allows Turner &amp; Central to easily adapt the crane to the job it is scheduled for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe unit is lighter than others in its category, which means we can run it on the road carrying the fly jib and hook block,\u201d Jenkins explained. \u201cMany of our jobs involve lifting 50 t loads or placing concrete panels, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L <\/a>gives us more flexibility for these types of tasks. We run it as a 160 t, 200 t or 250 t crane, depending on the job, so it\u2019s spread across a number of different categories giving us better adaptability. I\u2019m confident that we\u2019ll be achieving very high utilization of this unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As well as being easy to put on the road, the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> also offers the best maneuverability and class-leading driver comfort, which it delivers thanks to its inclusion of a VIAB turbo clutch and integrated retarder\u2014the first ever mobile crane to feature the system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The VIAB turbo clutch module eliminates both fluid overheating and clutch burning, while enabling wear-free starting and braking. It also contributes to fuel savings\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> fuel consumption is estimated at approximately 30% below that of its predecessor, the GMK5220.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Neil Hollingshead, sales director for mobile cranes in Australia, said the company has received lots of interest in the new Grove five-axle machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBecause of its flexible setup, the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> is an attractive option for all Australian states, and we already have over 10 machines that are either with customers or on their way,\u201d he said. \u201cConfiguring cranes for road travel in Australia can be a costly and time-consuming exercise, but with the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a> we\u2019ve made that whole process much easier and cheaper for our customers. Also, the crane\u2019s ability to work across categories and its huge 70 m boom mean it can be sent to a much wider range of jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Boosting overall reach of the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L <\/a>is a 21 m hydraulic swing-away jib, which can be extended with either an 8 m boom extension, two 8 m jib inserts, or a combination of both for a total possible jib length of 37 m. For optimum usage, the full jib can also be operated while the crane is working with its full 70 m boom length extended. Another benefit of the jib is its ability to offer increased offset of up to 50\u00b0 compared to a typical 40<sup>o <\/sup>on other Grove cranes in its class &#8211; plus there is an optional integrated heavy duty jib available. It also has Manitowoc\u2019s Crane Control System (CCS) technology, which is a standardized operating system being included on all new cranes from the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">In the short time Turner &amp; Central has owned the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a>, it has already has been employed on a range of job sites, including for work at the North Park gold mines and the Cadia Mine, where it was used to install conveyors. In addition to the <a href=\"http:\/\/specs.machine.market\/index.php\/2016\/11\/18\/grove-gmk5250l-all-terrain-mobile-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMK5250L<\/a>, the company operates two other Grove cranes: a 100 t capacity GMK4100 all-terrain crane and a 130 t capacity GMK5130 all-terrain crane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Grove GMK5250L all-terrain crane in the state of New South Wales, Australia, has been delivered to Turner and Central Crane Services, a construction equipment rental company serving the Central West area of NSW.
