Technicians from Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority (GPHA) visited Manitowoc's facility in Niella Tanaro, Italy, to learn proactive maintenance and basic repairs on the Grove RT530E-2 rough-terrain crane. Manitowoc offers training for technicians on demand year-round from its Manitowoc Crane Care facilities around the world.

Grove Master Engineer Mirco Minoccheri taught the five-day program, which focused on how to identify and then solve issues on the rough-terrain crane and included lessons around a variety of the Grove RT530E-2 operations, including hydraulic schematics, load sensing and proportional controls, CAN-BUS data transfer, electricals and electronics and error codes interpretation.

GPHA purchased the two RT530E-2 rough terrain cranes in January 2020 and is using them to handle general cargo at the Port of Tema, the largest port in Ghana.

The RT530E-2 is a 30 t capacity crane with a 29 m full-power boom, plus an optional 7.9 m-13.7 m telescopic swingaway.
