German company Gustav Seeland makes new Grove GMK5250XL-1 its largest crane

• The Grove GMK5250XL-1 delivered to Gustav Seeland in Hamburg, northern Germany is the company's strongest crane with the longest boom.
• The delivery comes around the time of Seeland's 90th company anniversary.

To celebrate 90 years in business, German rental company Gustav Seeland has taken delivery of its largest mobile crane, a Grove GMK5250XL-1. As well as being the company's strongest crane at 250 t capacity, it also has the longest boom, with a 78.5 m main boom towering over the rest of the company's fleet.

"The enormous reach and strong lifting capacities of the Grove GMK5250XL-1 bring new capabilities to our fleet and will help us deliver the professional lifting and transport solutions for which we are famous. Our clients operate in a wide range of sectors, including construction, energy, and infrastructure, and they will all benefit from this new addition," said Johann Evers, managing director of Gustav Seeland.

The GMK5250XL-1 was designed to push the boundaries of mobile cranes. This crane's 78.5 m boom is the longest in its class and includes TWIN-LOCK™ boom pinning. Its long boom and high capacities are balanced against a small footprint and stellar maneuverability.
