Mr. Chris Barnes, managing director at Mann Crane Hire, said, “We needed a compact and maneuverable crane that could efficiently travel across the whole island and work in smaller spaces as we work on a lot of tight locations. The GMK3060L-1 offers impressive dimensions and a class-leading boom, so it was exactly what we needed.
Equipped with a comprehensive spec that includes the full jib and optional MAXbase outrigger positioning system, the Grove GMK3060L-1 is built for versatility. With a 60-tonne lifting capacity, the three-axle crane stands out for its blend of strength and reach. The model features a seven-section, 48-meter MEGAFORM boom, allowing for long-distance lifting and adaptable load management.
The crane’s flexibility extends to both indoor and outdoor operations, with load charts that begin at a 0° boom angle. Its all-terrain capability also enables efficient movement across the island’s varied landscape. The crane’s transport efficiency is highlighted by its ability to carry its full 13.5-tonne counterweight on a 16.5-tonne axle or, if needed, travel with up to a 7.5-tonne counterweight on a 12-tonne-per-axle setup.
Founded over 36 years ago, Mann Crane Hire is a family-owned business with deep roots on the Isle of Man. Over the years, the company has become a cornerstone for lifting solutions across the island, operating between England and Ireland.
