A Game-Changer in Crane History: The Grove TM800
The Grove TM800, introduced in the early 1970s, was a trailblazer in its time. With a 70-tonne capacity, it was the first telescopic crane of its class—setting new benchmarks in the lifting industry.
Mounted on a Consolidated Dynamics carrier, this powerhouse represented a fusion of engineering innovation and robust design. Its combination of mobility and strength made it a go-to solution for heavy lifting and construction projects during that era.
A true icon that paved the way for modern telescopic cranes!
