German crane rental company MaxiKraft Kran und Schwerlastlogistik has ordered 17 new Grove All Terrain cranes.

The first batch included two 60 tonne, three axle GMK3060Ls with seven section 48 metre main booms, three four axle 90 tonne GMK4090s with 51 metre six section booms, and a five axle 150 tonne GMK5150L with a 60 metre main boom. All six were collected by their operators from the Grove plant in Wilhelmshaven. The remaining 11 cranes, which include further units of the same models plus a couple of 250 tonne five axle GMK5250L-1s, are due to be handed over by November.
