Siam Cement Group (SCG), a leading building materials supplier across Asia, has introduced a new 130 t crane to its Thai operations to help meet growing demand. After surveying several alternatives, the company opted for Grove?s GMK5130-2, judging it to be the best choice for its needs.

SCG already has good experience with Grove cranes, as it currently owns three older models in its fleet, a Grove AT990E all-terrain crane, plus a Grove RT855B and a Grove RT530DXL - both rough-terrain cranes. The latest addition - the GMK5130-2 - was purchased to replace an older 80 t GMK4080 all-terrain crane.

The higher-capacity GMK crane will be used across SCG?s three biggest manufacturing sites in Saraburi Province, just north of Thailand?s capital city of Bangkok.
