Grove GMK4080-1

The Grove GMK4080-1 is an enhanced version of its predecessor, offering improved lifting capacities and a more operator-friendly design. It features a maximum lifting capacity of 80 metric tons (88 US tons) and comes equipped with a 6-section full power boom ranging from 10.7 to 51 meters (35.1 to 167.3 ft). With a maximum tip height of 75 meters (246 ft) when configured with the jib, this crane offers considerable reach and flexibility for lifting tasks on tight or expansive sites alike.

This four-axle all-terrain crane is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 501 LA, 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 390 hp (290 kW) at 1800 rpm. The drive is supported by a ZF-AS-Tronic automated transmission with 16 forward and 2 reverse speeds, delivering optimal fuel efficiency and smooth gear changes across various terrains.

Its all-wheel steering system includes crab and independent front/rear steering modes, enhancing maneuverability in confined areas. The crane’s hydropneumatic suspension with automatic leveling ensures a stable base for lifting operations, even on uneven terrain.

The superstructure features a separate Mercedes-Benz OM904 LA engine, dedicated to crane functions and generating 129 kW (173 hp). This provides independent operation of the crane’s movements, increasing overall efficiency on site.

The GMK4080-1 also includes a swingaway jib of 8.7 m to 15 m (28.5 ft to 49.3 ft), which is offsettable by 0°, 20°, and 40°, further extending its versatility. The maximum counterweight configuration is 17.7 tons, offering increased lifting performance without compromising mobility.

In summary, the Grove GMK4080-1 is a high-performing and versatile mobile crane that brings together strong lifting capabilities, off-road efficiency, and operator-friendly controls, making it an excellent choice for mid-range lifting tasks in construction and industrial sectors.
