The company’s largest mobile workhorse, the 200-ton Grove Hydraulic Crawler crane, has a 185-ft. main boom and delivers heavy-duty lifting power in applications that require high capacity at various radii in tough job site conditions—swampy or mountainous terrain among them. The GHC200 offers new features to the crawler range, such as an additional 90 percent pinning location on the boom sections for increased staging capacity and versatility.
When configured with the 71.5-ft. manual or hydraulic swing away extension, the machine reaches a maximum tip height of 265.7 ft. Equipped with out of level load charts, the GHC200 offers the ability to pick-and-carry at 100 percent of its load chart on up to 4-degree inclines and can swing loads a full 360 degrees. The main and auxiliary hoists include drum rotation and third wrap indicators, with 26-mm wire rope, providing a maximum permissible single-line pull of 29,750 lbs.
The GHC200 can be transported in six to seven loads and offers quick self-assembly. Operators will note such in-cab amenities as a large air suspension heated seat; climate control system for added comfort; and, cameras providing hoist, rear and right-side views. A 20-degree tilting cab provides high visibility and increased operator ergonomics when working at high angles with an extended boom. — Manitowoc Co., Milwaukee, Wis., 414/760-4600; www.manitowoc.com
