Limestone mine in Turkey hails rock-solid performance of Grove GRT8120
- Yil-Mer, one of Turkey’s leading limestone producers, has purchased the country’s first Grove GRT8120 rough-terrain crane.
- The crane’s durable design and powerful lifting performance make it ideal for the demanding work in the mine.
Yil-Mer has received the first Grove GRT8120 in Turkey and has immediately put it to work in the demanding surroundings of its limestone mine. The crane was sold through long-time Manitowoc dealer Karun Makina, and it is now the largest Grove rough-terrain crane in the country.
Paulo Costa, Manitowoc’s regional sales manager for mobile cranes in the Middle East, said:
“The Grove GRT8120 is performing well for Yil-Mer. It’s a very tough workplace, but the GRT8120 is right at home. There is already a strong reputation for Grove rough-terrain cranes in Turkey, and several GRT880 and GRT8100 cranes are at work. But this is the first GRT8120 and we expect its performance to generate further interest. Manitowoc has a strong partner in Turkey, with Karun Makina, and customers know they’ll get all the service and support they need to keep their cranes working on the jobsite.”
The 120 t capacity Grove GRT8120 offers some of the most impressive characteristics of any two-axle rough-terrain crane on the market. As well as huge lifting capability, the crane has a seven-section, 60 m MEGAFORM™ boom, with up to 80.8 m of tip height when using the optional jib. It also offers the option of the MAXbase system, allowing greater flexibility with a variable outrigger positioning system to perform very well on congested jobsites. A wide, full-vision cab with 20° tilt maximizes comfort and visibility, and the operator further benefits from Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) that includes the Boom Configurator mode for simpler set-up and on-board lift planning.

GRT8120
The GRT8120 offers class-leading lifting performance with a 11,3 m to 60 m (37.2 ft to 197 ft) seven-section, MEGAFORM™ boom with TWIN-LOCK™ boom pinning system. This amount of main boom length is typically reserved for rough terrain cranes in the 135 t - 150 t (150 USt -165 USt) class, however when combined with a compact carrier with dimensions of cranes in the 70 t- 90 t (80 USt- 100 USt) class, makes the GRT8120 a truly versatile crane that should be in every crane owners fleet. And just like all GRT models, we are so confident in the performance and reliability of the GRT8120 that we are backing it with a two-year standard warranty.
