The crane features Megatrak suspension on a seven-axle carrier, a removable rear outrigger box, an Allison automatic transmission and a Twin-Lock boom pinning system.Ĭrane Service Company’s relationship with H&E helped the company prepare for the unique job site. It can lift up to 550 USt and has a 197 ft. The GMK7550 is Grove’s largest all-terrain crane. The company was hired by mechanical contractor Southland Industries, based out of California. Crane Service Company purchased one from Louisiana-based H&E Equipment and set to work on the data center. The company decided a Grove GMK7550 would be the best crane to handle the project based on its lift capacity and reach. “Also, because of the way the roof was designed, we had to set the crane far back behind a concrete curb and rig across the roof.” “The data center we were helping to construct was just a few miles south of Dulles International Airport, so FAA rules regulated how high the crane could lift,” he says. In the end, the Maryland-based company concluded the Grove GMK7550 all-terrain crane was an ideal fit.īrian Mazzella, Vice President of Crane Service Company, explains the challenges his company overcame by using the GMK7550.
