a Sigdo Koppers company, has just added an RT890E rough-terrain crane to its
Grove fleet. The firm will immediately put the rough terrain crane to use in
industrial construction and assembly of major projects in sectors such as
mining and metallurgy, power generation, industrial plants, ports and
pipelines. Peru is one of the fastest-growing economies in South America, and
SSK’s Grove RT890E is its latest asset to help keep the country moving forward
on solid footing. The 80 t (90USt) capacity RT890E is one of Grove’s most
popular cranes in the region, ideal for countless applications. It features an
electronically controlled 275 HP Cummins diesel engine and Manitowoc’s Full
Vision cab which has ergonomic controls to minimize operator fatigue during
long work hours. Created in 1998, SSK is headquartered in Lima.
