Grove cranes - reaching higher
Manitowoc will have 12 cranes at its booth, with many models set to be announced in the coming weeks and some being unveiled at the show itself. Seven Grove mobile cranes and five Potain tower cranes will be on display. The largest Grove on display will be the GMK6400-1 all-terrain crane, which is being shown for the first time. The 400 t capacity crane is the successor to the popular GMK6400 and offers a range of upgrades and improvements, including Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) and MAXbase variable position outrigger system.
Two additional Grove all-terrain cranes will be making their public debuts at the show. The 150 t GMK5150XL and 120 t GMK5120L both launched at the end of 2021 and continue Grove’s long-standing legacy of class-leading five-axle cranes. The GMK5150XL redefines what’s possible in terms of reach with a five-axle crane. At 69 m its main boom surpasses that of most 220 t machines. The GMK5120L offers 66 m of boom, plus a variety of counterweight configurations for greater flexibility.
The four other Grove cranes – two all-terrain and two rough-terrain cranes – will be announced in the coming weeks.
Tower crane triumphs
From Potain, two impressive new tower cranes are being kept under wraps until the show, with one each coming from the topless and luffing jib ranges. Alongside them will be the Potain MDT 489, which is also making its first public appearance since launching in 2021. It’s available in 20 t and 25 t versions, with each offering 80 m of jib. Its combination of power and reach makes it ideal for infrastructure and other large projects.
From the self-erecting crane line, there will be two units. The Igo T 99 will make its public debut at bauma 2022, having launched last year. The 6 t unit is already winning admirers due to its compact dimensions, small footprint, and intelligent design. Also on display will be a Potain Hup M 28-22, a popular favorite that is focused on mobility. Capable of lifting 2.2 t, the unit is the only self-erecting crane that offers 28 m of jib and up to 31 m of working height within such compact transport dimensions.
Customer Support Focus
Visitors to the Manitowoc booth can also see and experience the Grove and Potain Customer Centers. In these interactive areas, visitors will find a host of technologies and information on value-added services from Manitowoc, including GROVE / POTAIN CONNECT – the new telematics platform for Potain and Grove cranes.
At the Potain Customer Center, there will be a virtual reality (VR) exhibit enabling users to explore iconic construction sites. Visitors will experience the Potain e-Tech service tool and see details on a wide variety of training, including via the Potain e-Academy. There will also be details on the EnCORE refurbishment program and used crane sales.
Over at the Grove Customer Center, there will be a simulator based on one of the company’s rough-terrain cranes. There will also be a VR presentation on the advanced boom technology of the company’s cranes, plus the new 12-inch operator display for the Crane Control System. As with the Potain Customer Center, there will also be full details on EnCORE refurbishment and used crane sales for Grove.
Showtime!
This year’s bauma 2022 runs from October 24–30, marking the 33rd edition of the world’s largest trade fair for construction equipment. The Manitowoc exhibition will be located at booth FS 1202 at the Messe München exhibition grounds in Munich, Germany.

THE STRONGEST HEAVY DUTY 6 AXLE CRANE
The GMK6400-1 is the strongest heavy-duty 6 axle crane on the market with a self-rigging MegaWingLift™ (rigging time < 20 min).
