The GMK5130-2 has a 60 metre twin-lock boom, the GMK5220 a 68 metre boom and a maximum system length of 105 metres, while the GMK6300L features an 80 metre main boom and 37 metres of swingaway and extensions.

The new cranes have been added to Nordic’s 300 strong fleet. One of the GMK5220’s was immediately put to work on an offshore oil platform in the North Sea, dismantling a derrick tower. The crane was disassembled on shore and reassembled on the platform.

Grove area sales manager Thorsten Bolender said: “The GMK5130-2 and GMK5220 have a higher lifting capacity compared to other machines in this class and they provide greater mobility thanks to their all-wheel steering. The GMK6300L offers some of the strongest lifting abilities of any six-axle All Terrain crane, making it perfectly suited to the wide variety of work the machine will carry out.”
