PSG Marine & Logistics Takes Delivery of the UK’s First Grove GRT8100-1 Rough-Terrain Crane

Updated: Jan 19

30 Second Takeaway


PSG Marine & Logistics has become the first company in the UK to take delivery of a Grove GRT8100-1 rough-terrain crane. The 100-tonne crane is already supporting quayside logistics in the Scottish Highlands, delivering strong pick-and-carry capability and flexibility for marine, offshore oil and gas, and offshore wind projects.



First Grove GRT8100-1 Delivered in the UK


Scottish marine services company PSG Marine & Logistics (PSG) has taken delivery of the first Grove GRT8100-1 rough-terrain crane in the UK, marking a significant fleet milestone for the Highlands-based operator.


PSG provides lifting, transport and logistics services to the marine, offshore oil and gas, and offshore wind energy sectors, with the new crane already in use supporting quayside logistical activities across its operations.


Ordered at Vertikal Days 2023


Continuing a Long Relationship with Grove


PSG placed the order for the GRT8100-1 during Vertikal Days 2023 in Peterborough, England. The company has a long-standing relationship with Grove cranes, having successfully operated a Grove RT600E for many years.


That experience played a key role in the decision to invest in the new model, particularly due to its efficiency, time-saving features, and strong pick-and-carry performance.


Steve Clark of PSG said:

“We have run a Grove RT600E rough-terrain crane for many years and it has delivered reliable and productive service. In particular, it offers great time savings with its pick-and-carry capabilities. The crane’s performance combined with the excellent support we receive from Crowland Cranes and Manitowoc convinced us to invest in the GRT8100-1.”

Supplied Through Long-Standing Partners


Dealer and Manufacturer Collaboration


Crowland Cranes, PSG’s regional Grove dealer, supplied the new crane and worked closely with Manitowoc Cranes UK sales manager Derek Kidd to complete the delivery.

Crowland Cranes has supported PSG for many years, helping ensure the company’s fleet remains aligned with operational demands and evolving project requirements.


GRT8100-1: Strong Performance and Flexibility


Key Technical Features


The Grove GRT8100-1 is a 100-tonne capacity rough-terrain crane designed to deliver strong load charts and high versatility.


Key specifications include:

  • 47-metre main boom

  • Maximum tip height of 72.9 metres with the optional jib

  • Best-in-class load charts


The crane combines the wide cab and carrier of the 120-tonne Grove GRT8120 with the superstructure of the GRT8100, resulting in improved operator comfort, easier servicing and greater jobsite flexibility.


It is also equipped with a comprehensive value package, including:

  • 10.1 m to 17.1 m offsettable bi-fold lattice swingaway extension

  • 360° mechanical positive swing lock

  • Auxiliary Hoist Package


Ready for Marine and Offshore Work


Supporting Quayside and Energy Projects


With its combination of lifting capacity, mobility and pick-and-carry capability, the GRT8100-1 is well suited to quayside logistics, marine operations, and offshore energy projects where space, efficiency and reliability are critical.


PSG is already deploying the crane to support customer operations across the Scottish Highlands.


Steve Clark added:

“We couldn’t be more excited to be the first company in the UK to receive one of these models and can’t wait to put it to work.”
