Tiong Woon Crane & Transport recently added a Grove GMK6300L-1 to its fleet and has deployed it to lift replacement parts at Shell Jurong Island, Shell?s largest refinery in the Asia-Pacific region. Tiong Woon is the first to take delivery of a Grove GMK6300L-1 all-terrain mobile telescopic crane in Southeast Asia.

?The GMK6300L-1 is ideal for working in refineries as it has a boom length of 80 m with the option of a swingaway jib between 12 m and 21 m in length,? said Michael Ang, Deputy CEO, Tiong Woon. ?Our favorite feature on the Grove all-terrain crane is the boom length and its ability to travel with up to 21 t counterweight on board the crane, which opens it up to a wider range of jobs.?

The GMK6300L-1 is the successor to Manitowoc?s ground-breaking Grove GMK6300L. The 300 t-rated GMK6300L-1 features a maximum tip height of 120 m when working with its full 80 m boom and 37 m of jib. When lifting with the main boom, it can lift up to 14 t at fully extended height and can handle this within a 14-28 m working radius, offering a flexible range of applications.

On the Shell Jurong Island project, the crane is configured with boom lengths between 40 m and 60 m, and handles loads at working radii between 20 m and 30 m. Typical loads for the crane are replacement parts at the industrial plant, with weights generally under 10 t.
