Grove GMK5150L-1

 Just in from the factory in Europe and now on a rail car and ready to head out, this Grove GMK5150L-1 All Terrain crane is an impressive sight.

The riggers are readying the unit to board the flatcar.

The GMK5050L-1 is a 150 tonne (175 US ton) capacity rig and with a 6 section main boom, swing away and various boom and jib extensions may have a maximum tip height of 88m (288 ft.).


Grove is one of the Manitowoc brands, along with Potain, National Crane and Shuttle-Lift.

  1. Good evening, Not sure how you measure the old peninsula of Halifax but I would consider Station 5 on Bayers Road (home of Quint 5 and the DECON unit) as on the old peninsula. I'm using Joe Howe drive as the boundary here for reference.
    Great pics of all the apparatus! Well done.
