Seven Groves for Havator

Finnish crane and heavy transport company Havator has added seven Grove cranes, including the first 120 tonne RT9130E Rough Terrain crane in Europe.

The RT9130E, Grove’s second largest Rough Terrain crane, features a 48.5 metre five section main boom and an 11 to 33.8 metre bi-fold swingaway extension which offers a maximum tip height of 85 metres. The new RT joins Havator’s existing fleet along with six other All Terrain and Rough Terrain cranes, which include a 95 tonne GMK 5095, a 130 tonne GMK 5130, a 170 tonne GMK 5170 and a 220 tonne GMK 5220.

The company said: “All seven cranes will work on a variety of sites across Finland, Sweden and Norway to help meet the demand for high-quality and durable lifting equipment at industrial projects in Scandinavia. They will also enhance the company’s strength at off-road and special application projects.”

Havator’s president Erkki Hanhirova added: “Industrial projects, particularly in the mining sector, are very active – there are several currently underway while other new starts have recently been announced. These projects demand powerful equipment that can reach remote, off-road locations with ease. Our new Grove cranes not only have the capacity, but the build quality to reach places where other cranes often struggle. This means we can bid more projects and grow our customer base even further.”

Established in 1956, the Havator Group provides heavy lifting, special haulage and harbour crane services throughout Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic states.
