Grove’s new TMS800-2: big features in a roadable package

08 Sep 2022 CW Team

The new TMS800-2 truck crane from Grove (by Manitowoc) delivers big crane features in a more easily roadable 80-ton package.

Manitowoc says the TMS800-2 offers “a wide range of enhancements covering load charts, powertrain and setup.” Industries targeted for the machine include renewable energy, cell tower installation, and road and bridge work.

“Think of the TMS800-2 as a lighter version of the TMS9000-2 (115-ton class Grove truck crane), sharing the same ergonomic cab and having interchangeable counterweights, but with a shorter boom, a maximum capacity of 80 tons, and excellent roading capabilities,” says J J Grace, Grove’s product manager for truck-mounted cranes.

As the successor to the TMS800E, the updated TMS800-2 has a 194.3-foot maximum tip height when equipped with the 34.5- to 57.6-foot telescoping swingaway lattice extension that comes in either manual or hydraulic offsetting configurations.

The crane features a 30% stronger overall load chart, with a 2,100- to 3,750-pound advantage at radii beyond 60 feet, Manitowoc says. The MAXbase asymmetrical outrigger system aids maneuverability in tight jobsites requiring maximum reach.

Powered by a 475-horsepower Cummins X12 turbocharged engine, the TMS800-2 has a maximum torque of 1,550 to 1,700 pound-feet. While the Eaton Roadranger manual transmission comes standard, an optional automatic version, the Eaton Fuller UltraShift Plus, is available.
