Italian construction company Moretti has added a third Grove all-terrain crane to its fleet, a GMK4100L-1. During the handover, Roberto Zucchi, sales manager at Manitowoc Italy, presented a handover key to Evangelista Zampatti, CEO of Moretti.

Th e 100 t capacity four-axle crane off ers best-in-class load charts from an extremely compact format. Th e 60 m main boom has seven sections and features the MEGAFORM boom design, which enhances its stability and strength and optimises the weight to make it even more powerful.

With a vehicle width of just 2.55 m, the GMK4100L-1 can easily travel to even the most confined inner city job sites. In taxi configuration, it can carry up to 6.7 t of counterweight with 12 t per axle, while the MEGATRAK independent suspension ensures excellent maneuverability. The four-wheel drive and all-wheel steering ensure superior steering both on- and off -road when terrain becomes more challenging, eliminating tire wear and stress on the non-steered axles.

Since then, the company has grown to become a major player in the manufacture and assembly of prefabricated reinforced concrete and laminated wood – both in Italy and beyond. Its sites in Erbusco, Lombardy and Balocco, Piedmont produce up to 300 m3 of concrete and 50 m3 of wood a day. It employs 230 people.
