Grove GHC30 Telescopic Crawler Crane
The new crane is the smallest in the GHC line with its compact dimensions enabling exceptional manoeuvrability.

Manitowoc has announced the newest addition to its line of Grove Hydraulic Crawler (GHC) cranes: the Grove GHC30. The new 30 t (30 USt) crane is the smallest in the GHC line and its compact dimensions will enable exceptional manoeuvrability.As with previous models in the series, the GHC30 is the result of a partnership with Germany?s SENNEBOGEN Maschinenfabrik. The other models in the range include the GHC50, GHC55, GHC75 and GHC130. John Bair, Manitowoc?s product manager for GHC cranes, said that customer feedback played an important role in the production of the GHC30,reflecting Grove?s commitment to The Manitowoc Way, a manufacturing philosophy that, among other strategies, incorporates customer needs into the design of new products. ?We talked to a number of dealers and customers about the telescoping crawler line and about how we could expand the range to benefit certain applications,? he explained. ?Customers that are engaged in utility, energy, construction and barge-mounted work, for example, indicated that a crane with a smaller footprint would help them increase manoeuvrability and efficiency on many job sites.? Deliveries of the crane are scheduled to begin during the second quarter of 2017.
