Peter Li Calsi, haulage and crane manager for Porter Cranes, received the GMK3050-2 from TRT’s Robert Carden and said his company was excited to add the unit to its fl eet.

“We have a long-standing relationship with TRT, and already own several other Manitowoc cranes, so we were confi dent taking this latest model,” he said.

With its compact design, fast-set up and ability to travel as a single package, the GMK3050-2 is a versatile and cost-eff ective addition to any crane rental fl eet.
