Grove for Proud

UK crane rental company Dewsbury & Proud has taken delivery of its second five axle 130 tonne Grove GMK5130-2 All Terrain crane in 12 months.

The GMK5130-2’s 60 metre main boom and hydraulically controlled 18 metre bi-fold swingaway with two extension sections, offers a maximum tip height of 92 metres. Lifts requiring full 40 tonnes of counterweight and rigging require a single additional transport vehicle. The crane’s first job was lifting construction materials for a new sports complex development at the University of Birmingham.

Dewsbury & Proud managing director Tim Proud said: “Grove cranes are tried and tested work horses that we know will work hard and always perform. Our cranes are out working on different job sites across the Midlands every day of the week, and as a taxi crane company we need cranes that are easy to transport and quick to set up. Dewsbury & Proud will continue to buy Grove because of their competitive prices, exceptional aftercare, and reliability.”
