Top 100: 75-Tonner Reaches 232 Feet

Sept. 28, 2010

Grove takes advantage of the 75-ton RT875E's powerful lift chart and 40 feet of inserts to raise a jib tip to 232 feet — 30 feet higher than the nearest 75-ton rough-terrain crane. The four-section Megaform boom has a tip height of 138 feet; there's an optional 35- to 56-foot jib, and two 20-foot inserts. This final addition to the E Series has a hydraulically tilting cab and it is the smallest Grove with a hydraulic counterweight-removing system.
