One of the Grove GMK5170 for Hovago

The five axle GMK5220 and GMK5170 have 68 and 64 metre main booms, extending to 108 and 101 metre maximum tip heights respectively. The Six axle GMK6300L has an 80 metre and 112 metre tip height.

Hovago chief executive Doron Livnat said: “We have experience with both the GMK5220 and the GMK5170, so we know exactly what we’re getting. Plus, we’ve had a good look at the GMK6300L which obviously has an excellent main boom, but it also looks like a great all-round crane with excellent potential."
“We are extending our rental fleet and these were great additions, as we know we’ll be able to rent them easily. In fact, three are already scheduled for a long-term lease, and the others will be booked into projects shortly.”
