Guadalajara based Grove and National Crane dealer TRACSA group, worked with the Mexican Army to select a crane that best fit it needs. Juan Mejia, crane manager at TRACSA said: "The army chose this crane because it offers more impressive load charts than its competitors and is made from higher-quality materials. Specifically, the comfortable cab and stronger boom and hoist were major selling points."

The National Crane NBT40 features a choice of booms up to 43.3 metres, a full-color graphical LMI display and deluxe operator's cab.
