Samson, which manufactures the synthetic hoist rope used by Manitowoc on its Grove RT770E crane, has completed the expansion of its facility at Ferndale, Washington.

The expansion includes an additional 1,400 sq m, enhancements to the manufacturing facilities, and a new Innovation and Training Centre. Samson celebrated the completion of the project with an open house event for employees and their families.

At ConExpo in Las Vegas earlier this year, Manitowoc showcased a Grove RT770E rough terrain crane fitted with Samson's KZ-100 synthetic hoist rope.
