Moodie's Crane Rentals is one of the three main crane operators in Nova Scotia, along with Irving Equipment Ltd and A.W.Leil Cranes and Equipment Ltd (a Seafort Capital partner company). Moddie's has offices in Halifax (Burnside) and Pictou. What may be its largest crane recently posed for a photo op on the waterfront.
It is a Grove ( by Manitowoc) GMK 5250L, which is a 5 axle, 250 tonne capacity unit with a 110 ft reach. It is also equipped with a three axle dolly to comply with Nova Scotia road weight regulations.
Grove brochures show the boom nested over the cab (where the roof is depressed) however that would place too much weight on the axles so the dolly is used to distribute the load.
