Viatron, a new rental company in Gydnia, Poland, purchased a Grove GTK1100 for projects across Poland, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The crane has already completed its first jobs, including the refur?bishment of an offshore drilling platform in Gdansk. Igor Pawela, CEO of Viatron, said he believes the unique design of the GTK1100 offers a significant competitive adva?ntage in the market. ?The GTK1100 is one of the most innovative cranes I?ve seen in years,? he said. ?We studied this crane for several months in a wide range of industries and applications. Our customers are in the energy and industrial markets, and they need inno?vative solutions for their refurbishment and new-build projects. The GTK1100 is an ideal solution. ?The first project for Viatron?s GTK1100 show?cased the crane?s unique capa?bilities to solve a number of engineering challenges. The job at the WilPhoenix offshore drilling rig required placing several sophisticated compo?nents during a substantial up?grade at the Remontowa Ship?yard. To place the components, the crane had to lift from inside a dry dock with limited space.
