Grove GMK4100L all-terrain cranes suitable for congested areas
Four more Grove GMK4100L cranes for Indonesian market
PT SH Machinery Indonesia, the dealer for Grove all-terrain cranes in Indonesia, has ordered four more GMK4100L cranes to add to its stock; they are expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2019. In 2017, the company had delivered several of the long-boom all-terrain cranes.The GMK4100L has a 100 t maximum capacity and 60 m Twin-Lock boom on a compact four-axle carrier. Its maximum tip height can extend to 85 m through the addition of jib attachments and the crane also features the latest ergonomic GMK chassis cab.
Tan Cheng Guan, Executive Director of PT SH’s Singapore-based parent company, Sin Heng Heavy Machinery, ordered the cranes during a visit by senior Manitowoc executives. Praising the cranes’ suitability for the Indonesian market, he said, “Grove cranes are easier to maneuver due to their Megatrak suspension and Megaform boom with Twin-Lock pinning system. This makes them particularly well-suited to Indonesia’s fast-growing economy and its increasingly congested cities.”
Brian Wang, senior Vice President, APAC, led the group of Manitowoc executives during the meeting with Sin Heng. He was joined by Aaron Ravenscroft, Executive vice President for cranes; Marco Zucchet, Sales Director for mobile and tower cranes, Asia; and Leonard Siow, Regional Sales Manager for mobile and crawler cranes, Asia. “PT SH is an important partner for us,” said Wang. “We are pleased the company is developing its fleet of long-boom cranes for trading in Indonesia and Singapore. The company’s commitment to Grove cranes is a testament to the quality of our machines and the trust our customers have in them.”
PT SH Machinery Indonesia maintains a team of technicians who are trained and certified by Manitowoc under its Crane Care support program to handle repair and maintenance. In addition, the company has invested heavily in its stock of spare parts, reducing wait times for customers and ensuring that its service meets customer expectations.
