MEGAFORMTM boom
The Grove MEGAFORMTM boom shape eliminates weight and increases capacity compared to conventional shapes. The simplified TWIN-LOCKTM boom pinning system automatically pins the sections in position using two horizontal large diameter pins. A single cylinder inside the boom reduces weight which has been used elsewhere to strengthen the machine.
Counterweight
Up to 22 000 kg (48,500 lb) of counterweight can be power installed and removed from the superstructure cab — allowing for easy transport to and from the job site. Wing weights are interchangeable with previous model.
Control system
Crane functions are controlled by Crane Control System (CCS). 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. Parts commonality across Grove, Manitowoc and Potain product lines enhances operator familiarization and serviceability.
Outriggers
Two-stage outriggers provide four position settings – 0%, 57%, 79%, and 100%.
