First sight of Grove's GMK5250L

Early photos have been obtained of Manitowoc's new Grove GMK5250L all terrain crane in customer colours.

Pictured is one of five pre-production units from the customer evaluation programme. North German crane rental specialist Krandienst Lange put the new crane through its paces as part of Manitowoc's Pre Production Partnership programme.

The 250 tonner, due for release later in 2015 has a seven section boom of 70 metres.

Look out here on www.khl.com and in International Cranes and Specialized Transport magazine for more details on this crane as they become available.
