Bizim Vinç takes delivery of Turkey’s first Grove GMK6450-1

• First job for the crane was lifting work on the Sazlı Bosna Highway project, and it will travel to further infrastructure and industrial projects.
• Bizim Vinç selected the GMK6450-1 for its compact design and lifting performance as it continues to expand its mobile crane operations.

Industrial services company Bizim Vinç has received the first Grove GMK6450-1 all-terrain crane in Turkey for its equipment rental division. The company acquired the heavyweight addition to support a range of upcoming complex infrastructure and industrial projects.

The crane's first task was for main contractor Rönesans on a major new highway close to the rapidly developing Sazlı Bosna area of Istanbul. Here, the crane lifted formwork for viaduct construction, with its compact design and lifting performance well-suited to the confined and demanding conditions. Future jobs for the GMK6450-1 include supporting hangar installation works at İGA Istanbul Airport and upgrade work at a cement facility operated by Limak Holding.

Bizim Vinç specified its GMK6450-1 with a range of options, including the variable outrigger positioning system, MAXbase™, and the self-rigging, capacity-enhancing MegaWingLift™ attachment. These additions will enhance strength and operational flexibility, allowing the crane to handle more technically demanding lifts.
