Italian rental company Musselli celebrated the purchase of a new Grove GMK5250L crane at GIS 2017 in Piacenza, Italy. Musselli, based in Northern Italy, purchased the crane in the runup to the tradeshow, and it is set to be delivered in November.
Fabrizio Musselli and his sister, Ileana Musselli, which represent the third generation of the family-owned rental company, attended GIS 2017 to celebrate the milestone with members of the Manitowoc team.
“It’s a pleasure for Manitowoc to deliver this GMK5250L to Musselli,” said Davide Camperi, area sales manager for mobile cranes at Manitowoc in Italy. “The new crane will join a GMK4100L-1, delivered in December 2016, that’s already working on a large refinery project. We’re proud to see our cranes take a leading role on such high-profile job sites.”
The GMK5250L is one of the most powerful and versatile five-axle cranes on the market. Its performance capabilities include the highest-rated capacity, best load chart, best maneuverability and quickest set-up time in its class. The crane features a 250 t capacity and 70 m boom. Musselli’s existing fleet includes several other Grove cranes including a GMK6300L, which was purchased in 2011.
