250 tonner for Lee Gang

South Korean rental company Lee Gang has taken delivery of a 250 tonne Grove GMK5250XL-1 All Terrain crane.

The five axle crane features an eight section 78.5 metre main boom topped by an 18 metre bi-fold swingaway extension that can be extended to 34 metres with additional inserts. Features include Grove’s Maxbase variable outrigger setup, Megatrak suspension with all wheel steering and twin lock boom pinning system. Power comes from a single HVO ready Stage V Mercedes diesel which is said to offer a 30 percent reduction in fuel consumption compared to previous power units.

Sales manager Roy Lim said: "Lee Gang needed a crane that could reliably meet the demands of a project to build a new semiconductor plant, but the company was also looking for a long term investment that can work across a variety of jobs. Lee Gang's familiarity with our cranes made the choice easy, but it's the consistent trust in Grove's technology and support that truly sealed the decision to go with the GMK5250XL-1."
