Grove’s three, four and five axle models will now be supplied with its latest carrier cab

Owner Alex Gagarin, said: “The new carrier cab makes the 60 tonner look like a big crane and when you sit inside you get a real feeling of space. I noticed straight away that the cab is extremely quiet compared to other cranes. So my crane operators will definitely arrive at the jobsite relaxed.”

Gagarin crane operator Stefan Hufgart, added: “The controls inside the new Grove carrier cab are clearly arranged and easy to reach. In our job, we spend a lot of time in the carrier cab - especially in a crane such as our new 60 tonner, which we will use as a taxi crane for working on multiple jobsites a day and driving from one task to the next. With the new GMK3060L-1, I can get to the next jobsite in comfort.”

Established in 2015, Gagarin offers a fleet of mobile cranes, access platforms, forklifts and excavators from its locations in Waldaschaff and Hammersbach. The company is also a member of the German association of independent regional rental companies, System Lift.
