Schaak Kran & Transporte expands its lifting capabilities with a new Grove GMK5150L
12/14/2017
Schaak Kran & Transporte has taken delivery of a new Grove GMK5150L. The Stuttgart-based contracting company chose the five-axle, all-terrain crane for its 150 t lifting capacity and 60 m boom, among other visibility and software features.
KranAgentur Werner, a premier Manitowoc dealer in Germany, worked closely with the company to assist in its selection of the GMK5150L. The crane’s advanced control technology greatly contributed to Schaak’s decision making, in particular its “Birdview,” 270° camera system and boom configurator software that helps operators set up the crane for precise lifts.
