Manitowoc recently unveiled a new line-up of Grove truck-mounted cranes tailored for emerging markets at an official launch event held at its regional headquarters in Dubai, UAE. The event drew guests from across the Middle East and Africa. 

The company showcased its Grove TMC550 and introduced two additional models to the line-up: the Grove TMC250 and Grove TMC750. These models are exclusive to emerging markets including the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

Each model features advanced technologies that improve efficiency, productivity, and environmental compliance, keeping Manitowoc at the forefront of lifting solutions, says an official of the company.

The cranes are backed by Manitowoc’s extensive aftermarket support, covering parts, service, training, maintenance, and more, through the company’s long-standing regional network. 

“As we expand across emerging markets, these new truck cranes enhance our existing offerings by adding new models that complement our product portfolio. The Grove brand has an excellent reputation and adding these truck cranes has allowed us to provide a more comprehensive range of solutions to our customers,” says Andrew Youssef, General Manager of Manitowoc in the Middle East, Africa, and CIS. 

The TMC550 is highly competitive for the region, appealing to a segment that demands high performance and reliability, backed by world-class product support. It has a 55-tonne capacity and a 45 m telescoping main boom. 

 The TMC250 has a 25-tonne capacity and 43 m main boom. The TMC750 has a 75-tonne capacity and 48 m main boom. All three are equipped with extended luffing jib options. Cummins engines power the entire range, and they feature an Eco Mode to reduce engine speeds to save fuel during operation.

Manitowoc, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, markets, distributes, and supports comprehensive product lines of mobile hydraulic cranes, lattice-boom crawler cranes, boom trucks, and tower cranes under the Aspen Equipment, Grove, Manitowoc, MGX Equipment Services, National Crane, Potain, and Shuttlelift brand names.
