The Manitowoc is set to launch its first ever Plug-in Hybrid all-terrain cranes – the Grove GMK5150L-1e and GMK5150XLe at bauma 2025. The GMK5150XLe, like its sister model, features much of the technology that excited customers three years ago when the GMK4100L-2 hybrid concept was unveiled.
The new models feature the existing 150 t capacity GMK5150L-1 and GMK5150XL cranes combined with a new, fully electrified superstructure resulting in more efficient, quiet, and environmentally friendly lifting operations.
With around 180 kWh of energy, the Grove Plug-in Hybrid cranes can carry out daily tasks. The battery pack enables approximately 5 hours of emissions-free lifting. When the crane is connected to the grid, crane operation can be extended to approximately 20 hours without compromising speed or capacity.
