Grove RT540E

Grove RT540E

The RT540E provides optimal lifting capacity in a compact package and longer reach than the RT530E-2 thanks to the 31 m (102 ft) full power boom. Great accessibility and transportability to jobsites thanks to narrow width and lower height. This model comes with the Crane Control System (CCS) and ECO mode to ensure smooth operation and lower operational costs. A new load sensing hydraulic system maximizes the cranes efficiency by utilizing piston pumps for crane functions. All of these features ensure the RT540E will not only be a highly productive crane in your fleet, but also provide a strong return on your investment.

Boom: The RT540E is equipped with a 9,8 m – 31 m (32 ft – 102 ft) four-section full power boom. The boom incorporates a rectangular boom shape made from 100 ksi steel, which eliminates weight and maximizes structural capacities.

Crane Control System (CCS): The Crane Control System (CCS) offers a user friendly interface, two full graphic displays mounted vertically for easier viewing and a jog dial for easier navigation and data input. The system allows the electronic controllers to be reprogrammed by the operator for specific speed and reaction.

Cab: The Full Vision cab with tilt-telescoping steering wheel, electronic single or dual-axis controllers, hot water heat and air conditioning provides all day comfort for the operator.

Tip height: The RT540E offers a 7,9 m – 13,7 m (26 ft – 45 ft) offsettable telescopic swingaway providing a maximum tip height of 47 m (154 ft).

CraneSTAR is an exclusive and innovative crane asset management system that helps improve your profitability and reduce costs by remotely monitoring critical crane data.  Visit www.cranestar.com for more information.
