MSG takes first German GMK400

German heavy lifting and haulage company MSG Krandienst has taken delivery of the first 400 tonne Grove GMK6400 All Terrain crane in Germany.

The GMK6400 features a single superstructure mounted engine with ‘MegaDrive’ hydrostatic drive train, 60 metre main boom and self-rigging Mega Wing Lift attachment. The unit joins MSG’s fleet of 35 cranes and will be used for heavy lifts at shipyards, refineries and power plants as well as wind farm maintenance and construction. Manitowoc claims it is the strongest six-axle crane on the market.

Andreas Werner of Grove’s dealer KranAgentur Werner, said: “We want to give customers the world’s most advanced equipment that enables them to complete a huge variety of jobs quickly and effectively. Grove’s GMK6400 is the next step in six-axle crane technology. MSG’s new crane has proved itself at several projects already, and there is a long list of jobs lined up for it in the future.”
