Mediaco adds 400t Groves

French rental company Mediaco has purchased three 400 tonne Grove GMK6400 All Terrain cranes taking the number in France to six.

The three new cranes will be based at Mediaco depots in Paris, Nantes and Marseilles.

The first GMK6400 to arrive in France was delivered to AltéAD, a lifting and industrial plant service specialist, others have been delivered to the rental fleets of SMMI in Lyon and Foselev in Le Havre.

The GMK6400 features a 60 metre heavy duty main boom and is unusual in that it uses a single superstructure mounted engine to drive the carrier via a hydrostatic drive system.

Philippe Dumas of Manitowoc said: “‘If you build it, they will come’ – if you build the best possible crane, customers will want it. And that is the GMK6400, this crane can perform lifts that no other six-axle or even seven-axle crane can, and yet is easy to transport on French roads. We are incredibly proud of what this crane can do and, much like our 300 tonne Grove GMK6300L, I expect it to reach more sales milestones in the future.”
