Grove GHC55

Grove GHC55

A compact powerhouse the GHC55 transports to the jobsite in one truck with low gross vehicle weight and ground-bearing pressure with a boom measuring 9.4 m - 30.4 m (30 ft 10 in – 99 ft 9 in).

Comfort redefined: Operator cab is designed to deliver maximum comfort while incorporating conveniently located joystick controls for precise operation. Cab comes equipped with an integrated rated capacity limiter, air suspension seat, color monitor for up to four cameras and precise climate control. The cab can tilt up to 15° providing the operator additional comfort when working at long boom and extension lengths.

Travel made easy: Transportation to the jobsite can easily be accomplished in one load. Once on the jobsite, the GHC55’s narrow dimensions provide excellent maneuverability in confined areas. The strong undercarriage provides 100 percent pick and carry capability and work up to 4° of inclination. The hydraulically extendable tracks allow for three working gauges for maximum flexibility on the job.

Strong telescopic boom: The GHC55 comes equipped with a robust fullpower four-section boom that allows for telescoping under load. The main boom offers 9,4 m – 30,4 m (30 ft 10 in – 99 ft 9 in) of reach. This paired with the standard 6,5 m (21 ft 4 in) offsettable swingaway extension provides a maximum tip height of 39,3 m (129 ft).
