• New GMK6400 and GMK5250XL-1 arrivals joined an eight-strong Grove fleet to support an LNG plant shutdown close to Darwin, NT. Equipment supplier Tutt Bryant selected the cranes for their reliability and performance.
• The original fleet of eight cranes handled the first stage of the shutdown in 2021 and then new arrivals provided added lifting power for the second stage in 2022.
• A mix of four-, five- and six-axle cranes covered multiple tasks, with Manitowoc providing two on-site technicians to ensure maximum uptime.
• Scottish structural steelwork contractor J & D Pierce has refreshed its fleet with six new Grove all-terrain cranes.
• The two GMK3060L, one GMK4090, two GMK4100L-1 and one GMK5150L model were delivered in November 2020, directly to the family business’s yard in Glengarnock, Ayrshire, where the operators received familiarization training from Grove service engineers.
By November 2020 MAXIKraft’s fleet will be replenished with 17 new Grove mobile cranes, including the GMK3060L, GMK4090, GMK5150L and GMK5250L-1 models.
