Engineered for heavy-duty performance, the GHC200 offers a maximum tip height of 265.7 ft (81.0 m) with the use of optional boom extensions, which include manual or hydraulic swingaway sections. The crane is built for outstanding pick-and-carry capabilities, even on slopes of up to 4°, making it ideal for energy, industrial, and infrastructure applications.

  • Capacity: 200 USt (160 t)
  • Main boom: 185 ft (56.4 m)

“As jobs get more challenging, higher load charts are needed to accomplish them. We are excited to bring the GHC200 to the market because it will increase the ability of companies to compete for and win jobs that require higher lifting capacities,”

said JJ Grace, Manitowoc’s product manager for GHC (Grove Hydraulic Crawler) cranes.

“It is an ideal crane for general construction and renewable energy, for example, because of its strength and increased pick-and-carry capabilities.”

    What is the fuel tank capacity of the Grove GHC200?

    1. David R. Ledford (author)

      Currently, official Manitowoc’s documentation provide detailed information about its lifting capacity, boom length, features, and operator cab but do not mention fuel tank size. Based on typical fuel tank capacities for large hydraulic crawler cranes in this class, the fuel tank is likely to be in the range of 500 to 600 liters (130-160 gallons), but for the exact figure, you would need to contact Manitowoc directly.
