Grove RT765E-2

The Grove RT765E-2 is a versatile 65 US-ton rough terrain crane, designed to handle a wide range of heavy lifting tasks in off-road environments. The crane features a robust four-section boom that extends from 36 ft to 110 ft (11 m to 33.5 m) using a synchronized sequencing system that provides smooth and precise telescoping. For additional reach, an optional bi-fold lattice swingaway extension from 33 ft to 56 ft (10.1 m to 17.1 m) is available, offering a maximum tip height of up to 174.5 ft (53.2 m). The extension also includes offset options of 0°, 25°, and 45°, allowing greater flexibility for various lifting scenarios.

The RT765E-2 is powered by a Cummins QSB 6.7L turbocharged diesel engine, which produces 240 hp (179 kW) at 2,500 RPM and 728 ft-lbs (987 Nm) of torque at 1,500 RPM. This engine is Tier 4-compliant, ensuring it meets stringent emission standards while providing reliable power for both crane operations and travel. The crane’s transmission features a six-speed powershift system, providing seamless shifting across six forward and six reverse gears for easy maneuverability at a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

The crane’s hydraulic system, powered by three main gear pumps with a combined capacity of 123 GPM (465 LPM), supports all crane functions, including boom telescoping, hoisting, and swing operations. The system operates at a maximum pressure of 4,000 psi (27.6 MPa), ensuring precise and responsive performance. The RT765E-2 is equipped with a main and auxiliary hoist, each capable of a maximum line pull of 18,436 lbs (8,363 kg) and a maximum line speed of 502 ft/min (153 m/min), making it suitable for heavy lifting operations.

For stability during operation, the RT765E-2 is equipped with four hydraulic outriggers with inverted jacks and a three-position setup—fully extended, 50% extended, and fully retracted—allowing for flexible use in tight spaces. The crane’s maximum outrigger pad load is 92,000 lbs (41,731 kg), providing solid footing during heavy lifts.

The crane cab is fully enclosed, constructed from steel, and features tinted safety glass, air conditioning, and a deluxe adjustable seat with armrest-mounted hydraulic controls for comfort and ease of use. The cab also includes a load moment indicator (LMI) with a graphical display that provides real-time data on boom length, radius, tip height, and load capacity, ensuring safe operation. The system includes an anti-two block warning and lever lockout to prevent unsafe lifting conditions.

The RT765E-2 also offers four steering modes—front-wheel, rear-wheel, crab, and coordinated steering—giving operators excellent control over maneuverability in tight or rugged job sites. Its 4×4 drive system, combined with heavy-duty planetary axles, ensures reliable performance on rough terrain.

In summary, the Grove RT765E-2 is a powerful, reliable rough terrain crane designed for challenging lifting operations. Its combination of a high-capacity boom, versatile jib options, advanced hydraulic system, and comprehensive safety features makes it an ideal choice for construction, industrial, and utility projects​​.
