All Terrain Cranes Dismantled Machines

While some pieces of equipment are only suited for certain conditions, all-terrain cranes live up to their name by working both on and off the road. In fact, that’s what makes this style of crane different from its counterparts. It’s capable of reaching highway speeds to get from one site to another, but then it’s also durable and powerful enough to get the job done when it gets there. And cranes that incorporate hydraulics provide substantially more lifting power.

Grove, which is a part of Manitowoc, is a prominent manufacturer in the all-terrain and hydraulic crane market, which is evidenced by the wide range of machinery it sells as part of its GMK line. To illustrate the versatility of these cranes, you can look at the GMK3050-1, which has a max capacity of 50 tons, a 125-foot maximum boom length, and a max tip height of 181 feet and then compare it to the GMK7550, which has a max capacity of 450 tons, max boom length of 197 feet, and max tip height of 443 feet.

Other major manufacturers of all-terrain and hydraulic cranes include Demag, Kato, Liebherr, Link-Belt, Samsung, Tadano, and Terex.
