Auto-Klug takes Grove

German heavy lift and haulage company Auto-Klug has taken delivery of a 220 tonne Grove GMK5220 All Terrain crane – its fourth Grove crane in two years.

The five axle GMK5220 features a 68 metre Twin-Lock main boom and a maximum tip height of 108 metres with extensions. The new crane will be based at its Bayreuth/Bindlach branch.

Werner Glück, general manager of Auto-Klug, said: “We made a conscious choice for Grove again with this latest GMK5220. We have been impressed with the actions Manitowoc has taken to further improve its manufacturing quality, and we have seen the changes for ourselves during visits to the Wilhelmshaven and Niella Tanaro plants.”
