Turkish precast specialist selects versatile Grove GMK5120L
- KAMBETON, one of Turkey’s largest precast concrete specialists, has received a new Grove GMK5120L all-terrain crane.
- The crane is the first GMK5120L in Turkey and was fine-tuned to suit KAMBETON’s needs.
Leading Turkish precast construction company KAMBETON has strengthened its fleet with the addition of a Grove GMK5120L all-terrain crane, supplied by long-standing local Manitowoc dealer KARUN.
KAMBETON owns an all-Grove fleet of mobile cranes having purchased its first back in 1997 – a Grove GMK4070 which is still in use today. This latest addition will support various projects across Turkey, particularly construction projects using precast concrete sections.
The crane was ordered without a jib or auxiliary hoist, to ensure it has the most compact configuration to make negotiating tight spaces even easier. Another customization was the inclusion of modifications, including additional hydraulic coolers, to ensure the crane delivers top-notch performance even in the middle of Turkey’s oppressively hot summers.
“We have relied on Grove cranes for over two decades, and we love their performance and reliability. The GMK5120L is a valuable addition to our fleet, offering versatility in tight spaces and strength for large, prefabricated elements. Given our extensive experience with Grove cranes, we are confident the GMK5120L will serve our needs for many years,” said Rıza Penahi, general manager of KAMBETON.

GMK5120L
THE LEADER OF THE LIGHT 5 AXLE CRANES
The GMK5120L boosts the versatility of taxi cranes to new levels. The 120 t machine offers an exceptional 66 m main boom and can easily carry a class-leading amount of counterweight – no matter if counterweight configurations for 10 t, 12 t, or 16.5 t per axle are required. This results in great flexibility and low transportation costs.
