Bott Group welcomes its 30th Grove Mobile Crane A GMK5250XL-1 joins the fleet

• Bott Group took delivery of its 30th Grove all-terrain crane at Manitowoc's Wilhelmshaven factory - a Grove GMK5250XL-1.
• Bott Group's large all-terrain fleet consists primarily of Grove GMK models.

Marking a significant milestone for the Bott Group, the 30th Grove mobile crane-a new GMK5250XL-1-was officially handed over at the Wilhelmshaven plant and is now based at the company's headquarters in Bad Kreuznach, Germany.
This investment was made possible through the successful resale of an older crane via KranAgentur Werner. Thanks to this smooth transaction, the Bott Group was able to invest in cutting-edge technology without delay, expanding its fleet with a powerful crane with a lifting capacity of 250 t.

Optimal equipment for the highest demands

The new GMK5250XL-1 is equipped with an extensive range of features, including:

• Hydraulic bi-fold swing-away jib for maximum jobsite flexibility
• Preparation for the auxiliary hoist that is already a part of Bott Group's existing fleet
• Proven VIAB turbo retarder clutch for smooth, wear-free starts
• BirdView 270° camera system and boom head camera for optimal visibility
• Numerous additional features designed to make the operator's work easier
