GENERAL
This manual provides important information for the operator
of the Model TMS9000-2 Series Grove Crane.
The mobile crane carrier incorporates an all welded steel
frame. The 8 x 4 x 4 carrier utilizes two drive axles and two
steer axles. Axle steering is provided by a power steering
pump, and power steering gear. The engine is mounted in
the front of the carrier and provides power through an 11
speed forward and 3 speed reverse manual or optional
automatic transmission.
Hydraulic, two-stage double box telescopic beam with jack
cylinder outriggers are integral with the carrier frame. The
outriggers are utilized in four positions; fully extended, mid-
extended, partial extended, and fully retracted (100%, 79%,
57% and 0%). The carrier is also equipped with a center front
jack with a permanently installed pad.
The superstructure is capable of 360° rotation in either
direction. All crane functions are controlled from the fully
enclosed cab. The crane is equipped with a 11.2 m to 51.6 m
(36.7 to 169 ft) five section boom.
Lifting is provided by a main and auxiliary hoist. Swingaway
hydraulically offsettable and manually offsettable boom
extensions are available.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, reference is made to left,
right, front, and rear when describing locations.
These reference locations are to be considered as
those viewed from the operator’s seat with the
superstructure facing forward over the front of the
carrier frame.
