A crane! On Tachoblog! Yes, it’s big enough, heavy enough and, most importantly, uses Tachoblog’s favourite fully automatic gearboxes, the Allison Transmission 4500 SP.
Manitowoc, a leading manufacturer of lifting equipment for the construction market has selected the proven technology of fully automatic transmission specialist Allison Transmission for its new Grove GMK6300L. Set to be launched at the 2010 Bauma, the six-axle all-terrain crane with an extended boom offers more power and, thanks to the 4500 SP fully automatic transmission, outstanding manoeuvrability and driver comfort.

It’s good to learn that Volvo Trucks listen to Tachoblog. They must have read that we and our friends over at TNN really rate the Allison Transmission fully automatic gearboxes – see Swedish Truck Extravaganza on Tachoblog with a Volvo FH16-660 and FE-230, Scania P380 and R480.
