Manitowoc: Gustav Seeland sends new Grove GMK5250XL-1 to work in Hamburg
The German heavy goods specialist acquired its second GMK5250XL-1 all-terrain crane earlier this year, to grow its fleet and handle larger and more demanding jobs. www.manitowoc.comGustav Seeland’s GMK5250XL-1 crane lifted a 4.5 t ventilation unit onto the rooftop of a 27 m tall building in downtown Hamburg. German heavy goods specialist Gustav Seeland continues to grow its Grove crane fleet to facilitate larger and more demanding tasks. The company acquired its second Grove GMK5250XL-1 all-terrain crane and wasted no time putting it to work. The new crane was sent to a building in downtown Hamburg to lift a ventilation unit onto a rooftop. It was set with 60 m of boom and at a radius of 31.5 m to lift the 4.5 t load onto the 27 m tall building. "We were pleased with the performance of our first Grove GMK5250XL-1, so it made sense to add a second. It’s an important part of the future direction of our company. Our Grove cranes have exceptional capabilities, which have enabled us to tackle more demanding jobs with greater efficiency. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries with Grove,” said Johann Evers, managing director of Gustav Seeland. The GMK5250XL-1 was designed to elevate what’s possible with a mobile crane in this class. Its 78.5 m main boom is the longest in its category and includes TWIN-LOCK® boom pinning. Its long boom and high capacities are balanced against a small footprint and stellar maneuverability. The crane was set with 60 m of main boom and at a radius of 31.5 m. Power comes from a Mercedes OM471LA EUROMOT 5 engine, which drives the carrier and the superstructure. The GMK5250XL-1’s single-engine design includes fuel saver technology, which can lower costs by up to 30% compared to previous Grove five-axle cranes. Other features include the MEGATRAK® suspension with all-wheel steering as well as the optional MAXbase™ variable outrigger positioning system. Gustav Seeland is based in Hamburg, Germany, and specializes in lifting services including heavy haulage and specialized transport, crane operations, industrial installations, engineering, and heavy-cargo storage. In the company’s 90 years of business, it has moved 7.2 million t of cargo and completed over 2,000 project assemblies.
