The VIAB turbo clutch eliminates both fluid overheating and clutching burning while enabling wear-free starting and braking. Powered by a single Tier IV final/ Euromot 4 engine, the crane features a new VIAB turbo clutch and integrated retarder which Grove claims is the first mobile crane to feature such system.

An optional integrated heavy duty jib is also available. This means the maximum lifting height is 110 metres. The swing-away jib extension can be extended further with two 8-metre inserts for a total jib length of 37 metres. More than 55, 000 Grove cranes have been sold around the world with some companies populating single fleets with several hundred units at a time.The new 250 ton all terrain crane feature a 70 metres, seven-section main boom and a 12 to 21 metres hydraulic bi-fold swing-away jib extension, which can offset from 5 to 50 degrees. Its MEGATRAK suspension system, the TWINLOCK boom pinning system and the MEGAFORM boom design are unique to Grove and give end-users a competitive advantage.


Grove has also led the industry in terms of technological innovation. Grove, part of the Manitowoc group has achieved a number of notable firsts, including introducing the world’s first slewing rough terrain crane in 1968 and the world’s first trapezoidal boom in 1970 as well as becoming the first international multi-facility crane manufacturer to receive the ISO 9001 quality assurance certification in 1994. Grove offers a full range of mobile hydraulic cranes from 8.6 t (8.5 USt) to 558.8 t (550 USt), comprising all-terrain, rough terrain, truck-mounted, industrial cranes and telescopic crawler cranes. Rich in tradition, the Grove name has been a welcomed member of the crane community for more than half a century, earning a reputation for strong, reliable lifting equipment consistently popular with those who operate it. Grove was founded in 1947 and is one of the world’s leading producers of mobile hydraulic cranes with manufacturing facilities in Shady Grove, Pennsylvania, and Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
