Grove's new TMS800-2 truck crane (by Manitowoc) delivers big crane features in an easier-to-ride 80-tonne package.
Manitowoc says the TMS800-2 offers "a wide range of improvements related to load charts, drivetrain and setup." Industries used for the machine include renewable energy, cell tower installation, and road and bridge work.
“Think of the TMS800-2 as a lighter version of the TMS9000-2 (115-ton Grove truck crane), with the same ergonomic cab and interchangeable counterweights, but with a shorter boom, a maximum capacity of 80 tons, and excellent handling characteristics,” says JJ Grace, Grove's loader crane product manager.
As the successor to the TMS800E, the updated TMS800-2 has a maximum tip height of 194.3 feet when equipped with the 34.5 to 57.6 foot telescopic, swing-out grid extension that comes in manual or hydraulic offset configurations.
The crane has a 30% stronger overall load chart, with an advantage of 2,100 to 3,750 pounds at radii over 60 feet, Manitowoc says. MAXbase's asymmetric outrigger system promotes maneuverability on tight job sites that require maximum reach.
Powered by a Cummins X12 turbo engine with 475 horsepower, the TMS800-2 has peak torque of 1,550 to 1,700 pound-feet. While the Eaton Roadranger manual transmission comes standard, an optional automatic version, the Eaton Fuller UltraShift Plus, is available.
