The new GMK6300L-1 will be deployed at the Wiesbauer site in Mannheim, working with six other Grove cranes with capacities from 60 to 300 t.

This is the fourth GMK6300L-1 in the Wiesbauer fleet, replacing an older GMK6300L-1 that will be moved to the Bietigheim site in the future. The crane was sold to Wiesbauer by KranAgentur Werner.

The addition of the 300 t all-terrain crane to the existing fleet underscores Wiesbauer’s standing as a premier full-service provider for heavy-duty projects in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, according to the company.

The GMK6300L-1 is designed with an 80 m main boom that lifts 14 t at a radius of 28 m at full boom extension. The boom is complemented by a 12/21 m long bi-fold swingaway jib, which is hydraulically adjustable from 5 to 40 degrees. The Allison transmission, complete with an additional hydraulic retarder, ensures optimum driving characteristics and high efficiency. The crane is equipped with LED work lights and a boom head camera system.

“Wiesbauer has been a loyal Grove customer since purchasing their first Grove crane in 1965, relying on the proven technology from Wilhelmshaven for decades,” according to Manitowoc. “The new crane will further enhance the existing fleet, strengthening the company’s competitiveness in industrial, construction, and infrastructure projects.”
