ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. Adds Five to Fleet
With Multi-Crane Purchase of Grove GMK7550s

June 17, 2008—ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. adds to its extensive fleet with the purchase of five Grove GMK7550 all terrain mobile hydraulic cranes. The first of the five was delivered in April 2008 and was headed for ALL’s branch location in Mobile, Alabama. The other four are scheduled for delivery to other ALL yards in late 2008 and into 2009.

The seven-axle GMK7550 is Grove’s largest mobile hydraulic all terrain crane, with a rated lifting capacity of 550 USt (450t). The five-section, full power boom (197 ft. [60 m]) provides a maximum tip height of 207 ft. (63 m) and features a patented TWIN-LOCK™ boom pinning system with 32 extension configurations. An optional 240-ft. (73-m) maximum luffing jib allows up to 430 ft. (131 m) overall tip height with approximately 300 ft. (91 m) of working radius. The lattice design luffing jib converts to a fixed offset lattice jib with lengths up to 230 ft. (70 m), offsettable at 3 degrees and 25 degrees.

The Grove electronic crane operating system (ECOS) automatically controls boom functions and also works with the EKS5 LMI system to provide the operator with a constant update of all crane conditions via CAN-BUS technology. The GMK7550 features a 255 HP Mercedes OM906LA diesel, water-cooled, superstructure engine and a 563 HP Mercedes diesel, water-cooled, turbocharged carrier engine.

“The purchase of these versatile GMK7550s demonstrates our commitment to continuous upgrading of our fleet,” says Michael Liptak, ALL Erection & Crane Rental president. “The GMK7550 offers great mobility for both on- and off-road construction and industrial projects such as bridges and highways, power plants, and erecting and disassembling tower cranes.”

The company offers its fleet of cranes, aerial work platforms, boom trucks, material handlers, and other lift equipment from strategic locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, providing rental, sales, service, and jobsite analysis to help customers get the right equipment for the job.
