The GMK5180-1 with its 64m boom is truly best-in-class. MEGAFORM shaping and Twin-Lock pinning ensure its hydraulic boom is among the most stable in the market.

The 180t capacity Grove GMK5180-2 is powered by a single Tier 4 Final Mercedes OM471LA engine. The engine drives both the carrier and superstructure, reducing overall weight and lowering fuel consumption, which leads to lower operating and maintenance costs.

This crane also features Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS). The standardised CCS is a user-friendly interface that Manitowoc has introduced on all new all-terrain crane models, as well as crawler cranes, rough-terrain cranes and tower cranes. This makes it easier for fleets to operate and maintain a standardized set of crane controls across several crane types. Its Boom Configurator Mode is especially useful, making it quick and easy for operators to select optimum boom positions for lifts.

Crane Control System (CCS) superstructure includes:

• 2 Full graphic displays
• Vertically mounted for better visibility
• Jog dial for easier input
• New ergonomic joysticks

The single engine system provides superstructure operation through one simple and reliable angular gear box. Hydraulic pumps are connected directly with the angular gear box in the centre of the slew bearing. This offers:

• One angular gear box for good fuel consumption
• Low noise and comfortable operation
• Less weight for better load charts
• Less maintenance (only one engine)

There are also logistical savings due to:

• Interchangeable counterweight slabs (heavy roadable counterweight standard) and self-rigging auxiliary hoist
• Common parts shared with GMK5200-1, GMK5250L and GMK6300L

The GMK5180-1’s VIAB turbo clutch enables:

• Wear-free starting and manoeuvring
• Efficient driving with automated manual transmission
• Wear-free braking
