Dutch crane company goes XL with Grove to boost growth
- Family-owned crane rental company 佩特 upgraded its beloved Grove GMK5095 all-terrain crane for a larger 150 t GMK5150XL and is already reaping the rewards.
- The new crane got right to work, lifting 6 t concrete floor panels for a local community center in 荷兰.
Dutch crane rental and transport company, Kraanverhuur T. 佩特, has replaced its older five-axle Grove crane with a newer, 更强的选项, and has enjoyed immediate returns. The 公司 upgraded to the higher capacity 150 t GMK5150XL all-terrain crane.
The 公司 opted for a stronger five-axle all-terrain crane because its customers in the construction sector are increasingly looking to lift bigger loads. A lot of this is driven by the growing preference for prefabricated construction, where typical loads can weigh from 15 to 20 t. The 公司 selected its Grove GMK5150XL after visiting the 马尼托瓦克 factory in Wilhelmshaven, 德国, and seeing the manufacturing process and testing of this impressive crane.
“We were so happy with our reliable GMK5095, and it gave us nine years of great service. But we wanted to go bigger and do more, so we opted for the GMK5150XL. We have not been disappointed; in just three months, we can already see the difference. It’s easy to operate, runs smoothly, and already shows a strong return on investment for us. The crane has an impressive load chart and an enormous reach with its 68.7米主臂. 最重要的是, it’s capable of handling some really heavy loads,哈利·帕特说, Kraanverhuur T的老板. 佩特.
One of the first projects for the GMK5150XL was in the village of Tienhoven, where it lifted concrete floor panels for a community 建筑 and sports hall. It placed a number of the 6 t panels at a radius of 16 m and lifted them from a very narrow footprint, thanks to the MAXbase™ variable outrigger positioning system. The lifts were well within the crane’s capacity and the project wrapped up efficiently within a single day. 埃里克先生, 马尼托瓦克’s local sales manager for mobile cranes in 荷兰, 看到起重机在工作.
“The GMK5150XL on the project in Tienhoven worked solidly and effectively over 10 hours; it never missed a beat. The crane really proved itself, especially its versatility and strength that comes from having nearly 31 t of counterweight on board,他说.
For the lifting work, the GMK5150XL was fitted with 30.9 t of counterweight and utilized with Grove’s optional MAXbase™ feature. It traveled to the site with 10.2 t on the crane, which equates to 12 t per axle. 另外20个.7 t was loaded onto a three-axle trailer that the crane towed behind itself. This heavyweight configuration is road legal in 荷兰, offering huge opportunities for local crane owners. With Grove’s plentiful counterweight options, it makes for a compelling choice for owners.
Kraanverhuur T. 佩特 is a family-owned crane rental and transport company with headquarters in ‘t Harde, 荷兰, and branches in Amersfoort and Almere. The 公司 was founded in 1982 by Theo 佩特, specializing in lifting work for the industrial, 建筑, 建筑部分. Today, Theo’s son Harry 佩特 owns and runs the company.
