Gastel’s new Grove RTs
The RT650E is part of Grove’s RT600E range and offers a four-section main boom of 32 m (105 ft) with a maximum tip height of 34 m (112 ft). A 15.5 m (51 ft) telescoping boom extension increases maximum tip height to 49 m (162 ft). The crane also features four steering modes, a full-power boom, and an ergonomically designed E-Series cab.
Pawel Kedzierski, managing director of Grabcranex, said demand for modern lifting equipment was the reason behind Grove’s recent success in Eastern Europe.
“The Grove product continues to demonstrate quality,” he said. “The need for new and efficient machines continues to grow in this part of the world, and the RT600E range offers some of the best capacities in its class. The RT650E has excellent maintenance access and is extremely versatile. It is a perfect compact all-round crane for small and medium-sized lifts.”
Gastel has four facilities located in Warsaw, Gdynia, Wroclaw, and Katowice, Poland. The company also specializes in civil engineering and has a fleet of 30 cranes ranging between 18 t (19.8 USt) to 200 t (220 USt), which include a GMK5130-1 (GMK5165 in the US), a GMK4080-1 (GMK4100 in the US), an RT 36/40TSC, an RT 20/25TSC, as well as the new RT650E machines.
Grabcranex was incorporated in 1990 and currently has two offices, one in Poznan and another in the Polish capital of Warsaw. It also has three service bases across Poland, in Plock, Gdansk, and Katowice.
