Tatuapé Cranes expands fleet and service capabilities with Grove GMK6450-1
The crane was utilized on key projects such as maintenance at an oil refinery, expansion of São Paulo’s Line 2 subway, and lifting beams on the Presidente Dutra Highway. Most recently, it was employed at a steel plant in Rio de Janeiro. www.manitowoc.com Since arriving at Tatuapé Cranes headquarters in São Paulo, a new Grove GMK6450-1 crane has been in constant use. The team at Tatuapé values the GMK6450-1’s versatility and the range of projects it supports. After thorough market research, the company chose the 450 t-capacity crane to meet the rising demand for stronger cranes in Brazil's industrial and infrastructure sectors. “The GMK6450-1 addresses a niche in our lineup between the 400 t and 500 t models,” explained Alexandre Andrade, executive director of Tatuapé Cranes. “This six-axle machine offers advanced technology and exceptional operational performance, making it ideal for this capacity range. Our customers can rely on it to meet their project deadlines, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.” The GMK6450-1 stands out for its impressive lifting capacity on its 60 m main boom. Andrade highlighted Manitowoc’s MegaWingLift™ self-rigging boom attachment, which can boost the crane’s capacity by up to 60%. When working with the 79 m luffing jib, the maximum tip height reaches 136 m, and when paired with the MegaWingLift™, lifting capacity can then be increased by up to 400%. This attachment can be rigged in under 20 minutes without an assist crane. Advanced features like the Grove CONNECT™ fleet management system and the engine’s fuel saver mode also influenced their buying decision. “This versatile crane has already proven its worth on multiple projects,” Andrade said. “With the new GMK6450-1, we’re reinforcing our commitment to advanced, high-performance technology and are ready to meet the demands of complex construction sites throughout Brazil.” www.manitowoc.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
