available for this crane.
The GRT8120 can be used with the following boom
extensions:
• 10.5 m to 17.6 m (34.5 ft to 57.6 ft) manual offsettable
bi-fold swingaway boom extension (folding manual
luffing extension), with mechanical offset mechanism for
offsets of 0, 20, and 45 degrees

All boom extensions are built specifically for the crane with

crane’s serial number.
To use a single boom extension on several Grove cranes,
contact Manitowoc Crane Care or your authorized Grove
Distributor.
