The 80tonne GRT880 features a 41m boom
The Grove GRT880 is one of 2123 Manitowoc’s newest rough-terrain cranes and also is more reliable that previous generation of cranes.
“This new Grove model reflects everything we’ve learned in the last decade of crane design,” he said. “For example, customers will find the GRT880 more reliable than previous generations of cranes.”
This is thanks in part to the advances brought by the Product Verification Center (PVC) where components undergo extensive validation and prototype testing, says Paul Cutchall, product manager for rough-terrain cranes at Manitowoc.
The 80tonne GRT880 features a 41m boom that is lighter than other cranes in its class. Customers will find this boom especially useful for the mining sector, equipment maintenance, and infrastructure projects. With a full complement of boom extension and insert options, the crane also has a reach of almost 61m and maximum tip height of 68m. The boom is lighter and longer than its predecessor, but has the ability to lift heavier loads across its load chart, says Cutchall.
The crane boasts up to 16% greater capacity at full radius, 13% greater capacity in mid-range applications and 27% greater capacity at close radii. With offsettable boom and fly extensions, the crane enables customers to lift heavier loads to greater heights, helping companies win projects they may have been out of reach before.
Cutchall says that a new boom extension stowage system for the GRT880’s manual, offsettable jib option decreases erection and stowage time by 60% when compared with previous generation Grove cranes. This enables operators to set up and disassemble the cranes in less time, saving money and increasing return on investment.
The GRT880 also has best-in-class hoist line pulls at 7,883kg on both the main and the auxiliary hoists. A stronger pull means fewer parts of line are needed to lift loads, which will lead to increased productivity on the job site.
“The GRT880 will surely increase ROI for customers with the versatility of its design and strong load charts,” Cutchall says.
The GRT880 also features the Crane Control System (CCS) that Manitowoc is introducing on all new rough-terrain crane models, as well as crawler cranes, all-terrain cranes and tower cranes. It has an updated full-vision cab tilts to 20° and also features a new ergonomic control arrangement including a tilting/telescoping steering column, electronic joysticks and a jog dial for simple CCS menu navigation.
