Grove GMK6300 used for German silo demolition

01 Sep 2011

A new Grove GMK6300 All Terrain Crane was delivered direct to the site of a German crane rental company. Greving was used during the demolition of six agricultural silos. Each silo was 15 m (50 ft) in diameter, 30 m (100 ft) high and weighed 6 tonne, and were located at a site at Ostbevern in Germany. The work was expected to take two weeks but in the event took just half of the estimated time. The silos were lifted at 64 m (210 ft) radius with the crane rigged with 53 m (174 ft) of luffing jib on a 43 m (141 ft) main boom.
