ALL Crane grows fleet with six RTs

The ALL Family of Companies will begin delivery of six brand-new rough-terrain cranes from Grove. The company has purchased among the first of the new Grove GRT8120s to roll off the assembly line.

“For industrial work at refineries and processing plants, and in the precast and steel erection of urban construction, the GRT8120 will get where other cranes can’t and will deliver the reach and lift that these applications demand,” said Chad Rados, project coordinator, ALL.

These 120-ton RTs bring a number of innovations to their weight class, including a completely redesigned carrier that is identical in size to a smaller 100-ton capacity RT, and it can be delivered in two truckloads, the company said. Equipped with a pinned boom with a maximum 197-foot length, the versatile crane features a smaller footprint and a capacity that, in certain instances, can rival that of a 130-ton crane.

The GRT8120 also features Grove’s exclusive MAXbase variable outrigger positioning system. Equipped with smart length-sensing outrigger extension cylinders and an automatic leveling system, MAXbase further improves access to congested jobsites and maximizes capacities.

“In the past, perhaps a general contractor would need to perform additional civil engineering or move obstructions,” added Rados. “Now, we can work around those, making the GRT8120 a money- and time-saver as well.”

ALL ordered these six units earlier in 2020 and will begin taking delivery in the first quarter of next year. The package comes on the heels of ALL’s recent purchase of four Grove GRT9165s.
