Grove Unveils New Rough-Terrain Cranes
Grove has unveiled two new rough-terrain cranes, the GRT765 and GRT780, promising best-in-class boom length and strength, along with innovative productivity features and design.
Enhanced Performance and Design
The GRT765 and GRT780 cranes aim to redefine the 65 U. S. short tons( USt) and 80 USt classes. They boast improved operator comfort and easier servicing, all within a compact design. Deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2024.
“ Customers will immediately notice the significant improvements in reach and strength, but we’ ve also packed a lot of other benefits into these new models. The operators will love the comfort of our new, wider cab as well as the expanded CCS display. We’ ve also added the latest productivity and fleet management technology with our MAXbase variable outrigger positioning system and the Grove CONNECT telematics platform. Not to mention we packed all of this into a very compact and lightweight package, which makes this crane very easy to transport, as well as maneuver around busy jobsites,” John Bair, product manager for rough-terrain cranes at Manitowoc, said

TRAIL-EZE is said to make state-line crossings easier than ever.
TRAIL-EZE Introduces TE801 Multi-Position Wheelbase
The all-new TRAIL-EZE multi-position wheelbase for the TE801 slide axle trailers offers flexibility with its three adjustable axle locations, making stateline crossings easier than ever.
In the rearmost position, the longest wheelbase optimizes weight distribution. The frontmost position achieves a kingpin-to-rear-axle distance of less than 40 feet, meeting California’ s legal requirements. The middle position ensures compliance with various other regional regulations.
Unlike the standard running gear, this multi-position design incorporates two sliding subframes instead of one. The system is operated via air and hydraulic controls conveniently located on the driver side of the upper deck.
