Taiwan’s Fu Yifa makes first Grove acquisition with GMK5250XL-1

• Logistics company Fu Yifa has expanded its fleet with a Grove GMK5250XL-1 as part of its commitment to continual innovation and operational excellence.

Fu Yifa, a leading logistics and contracting company based in Southern Taiwan, has purchased its first Grove crane to expand its growing fleet. The deal was led by Shing Tse International, supported by Manitowoc dealer Champion Auto.

“We are proud to welcome our first Grove crane and the GMK5250XL-1 is an excellent model. It’s performed perfectly since we took delivery. Our company’s reputation is built on innovation and operational excellence, and with the reliability and performance of the GMK5250XL-1 we can continue to deliver on our promises to customers. We’re looking forward to putting the crane to work across a diverse range of projects,” said Luo, Yong-Fong owner of Fu Yifa.

The GMK5250XL-1 was designed to push the boundaries of mobile cranes. This crane’s 78.5 m main boom is the longest in its class and includes TWIN-LOCK® boom pinning. Its long boom and high capacities are balanced against a small footprint and stellar maneuverability. The trusted Mercedes OM471LA diesel engine powers both the carrier and superstructure through a single and reliable angular gearbox. The single-engine design also includes fuel saver technology, which can lower costs by up to 30% compared to previous Grove five-axle cranes. Other features include MEGATRAK suspension with all-wheel steering as well as the optional MAXbase variable outrigger positioning system.

Fu Yifa will use the crane on multiple tasks across Southern Taiwan. The company was established over two decades ago and offers a range of lifting and transportation services.
