The first units of a six-crane Grove all-terrain deal have arrived with Dutch crane rental company Pfeifer Rentals BV. The models ordered include GMK5150XL, GMK5250XL-1, and GMK6300L-1.
All the three cranes are already in operation, including a long-term rental in the Netherlands and another currently operating for a customer in Germany.
Each crane was configured with a bi-fold swingaway jib featuring hydraulic offset and ‘luffing under load’ functionality and optional auxiliary hoist to enhance operational flexibility. The GMK6300L-1 ex-tends its 80 m main boom with a 37 m jib to an 120 m tip height, enabling access to a broader range of job sites.
Similarly, the GMK5250XL-1’s eight-section, 78.5 m boom reaches 109 m with the jib. This, says Grove, offers 10 degrees more articulation than comparable models. The GMK5150XL has a 68.7 m boom and is equipped with a 16 m hydraulically luffable jib, which can also be extended with extensions on the boom and jib. All the cranes are equipped with multiple hook blocks and a comfort package which in-cludes options like air conditioning, comfort seats and heating systems etc.
“This fleet expansion clearly reflects our growth and adaptability in the bare rental segment,” said Gerrit Pfeifer, CEO of Pfeifer Group. “Our customers often have their own qualified personnel and technical resources, allowing them to rent equipment without requiring one of our operators. The new Grove cranes allows us to efficiently address project requirements by providing high-performance equipment that is immediately available for deployment from our facility.”

With many years of experience in the short- and long-term rentals of construction and material handling machinery, the company also provides storage and handling, transport and haulage services, and operator training.
