• Dutch transportation and lifting company Gaffert assigned its new GMK5250XL-1 all-terrain crane to an office development in Amsterdam to lift technical items needed for the building’s elevator fire safety system.
Dutch transportation and lifting company, Gaffert, dispatched its new Grove GMK5250XL-1 all-terrain crane to an office development in downtown Amsterdam for its first job. The crane worked with its full 78.5 m main boom and 17.8 m bifold swingaway jib to install multiple components for the building’s elevator fire safety system. The client spread the lifts over two days due to space and logistics limitations, and all tasks were completed seamlessly. The crane was equipped with 80 t counterweight and handled loads up to a 60 m radius.
“We had to reach tall heights from a downtown jobsite in Amsterdam where control and confidence were everything. The GMK5250XL-1 delivered all we needed for this project. It’s our second Grove crane of this kind and we are blown away by the complete package the company offers in this class. Grove is certainly one of our preferred suppliers for cranes,” said Theo Gaffert, owner and director at Gaffert.
The GMK5250XL-1 was designed to push the boundaries of mobile cranes. Its 78.5 m main boom is the longest in its class and includes the TWIN-LOCK boom pinning system. Its long boom and high capacities are coupled with a small footprint and stellar maneuverability for the ultimate five-axle performance. Power comes from a Mercedes OM471LA EUROMOT 5 engine, which drives the carrier and the superstructure. The single-engine design of the GMK5250XL-1 includes fuel saver technology, which can lower fuel costs by up to 30% compared to previous Grove five-axle cranes. Other features on the crane include the MEGATRAK suspension with all-wheel steering and the optional MAXbase variable outrigger positioning system. Gaffert is a Dutch crane rental and transport company based in Veghel, the Netherlands, and has been in business since 1938.
