Efficiency improvements enabled by the state-of-the-art yet intuitive technologies on the Grove GRT655L were a key factor in Massucco T., ordering three GRT655L rough-terrain cranes. The cranes were presented to the Italian rental giant at a handover event at Manitowoc’s Niella Tanaro factory, just 30 minutes from Massucco T.’s headquarters in Cuneo, Piedmont.

“There were many reasons behind our choice to invest in Grove again,” said Roberto Borgogno, sales manager at Massucco T. “Our previous experience with the brand, and our awareness of the reliability and excellent technical support were relevant. But perhaps the main attraction was the advanced technologies on the crane. These are not gadgets, but digital tools that impact crane management and maintenance. For example, the diagnostics feature is an extremely important way to keep on top of operating and maintenance costs. It allows us to precisely schedule service based on working hours.”
The compact and portable GRT655L features Manitowoc’s CCS (Crane Control System), enabling operations to be easily adjusted to suit individual preferences, making it the perfect rental crane.
The 60t capacity crane has a 43m boom, tilting cab, and a removable counterweight – all features usually only found on larger rough-terrain cranes.
Another factor that makes the GRT655L a perfect rental crane is its compactness and portability. “The GRT655L is just 3 m wide and has a removable counterweight, so it’s easy to transport on a trailer,” added Borgogno.
