Manitowoc Cranes
John Sutch Cranes, a mobile crane rental and contract lifting specialist based in Liverpool and Manchester, added a second Grove GMK5200-1 after the first model proved a success. The five-axle, 200-ton all terrain crane proved to be a good business decision due to its compact size and interchangeable counterweight slabs.
As a sub-part of the purchase, John Sutch Cranes announced it will be pledging a portion of the GMK5200-1 rental sales for the next three years to The Christie Hospital, a vital care facility located close to the Manchester depot.
“The GMK5200-1 is a fantastic crane and very versatile,” said Paul Parry, sales manager at John Sutch Cranes. “Its compact size means we can send it out as a smaller crane, instead of a 160 tonner, for example, and get more use from it.
