Safety Information

General Crane Design
The Grove crane has been designed for maximum
performance with minimum maintenance. With proper care,
years of trouble-free service can be expected.
Constant improvement and engineering progress makes it
necessary that we reserve the right to make specification
and equipment changes without notice.
Specific Crane Description
The crane incorporates an all welded steel frame, using
planetary drive axles to provide four-wheel drive. Axle
steering is accomplished utilizing hydraulic steer cylinders.
The engine is mounted at the rear of the crane and provides
motive power through a six speed forward and three speed
reverse transmission. Hydraulic, double box, sliding beam
outriggers are removable.
The carrier frame incorporates an integral fifth wheel, to
which the rear axle is mounted, to provide axle oscillation.
Axle oscillation lockout is automatic when the superstructure
rotates from the travel position.
The superstructure is capable of 360° rotation in either
direction. All crane functions are controlled from the fully-
enclosed cab mounted on the superstructure.
The crane is equipped with a six-section, pinned boom.
Additional reach is obtained by utilizing an optional
swingaway boom extension. Lifting is provided by a main
and auxiliary hoists.
Lifting Capacities (Load Chart)
Lift Capacities are listed on the Load Chart in the cab.
Basic Components
