Petrolift has expanded its fleet with 21 new Grove cranes for 2024 to enhance its product offerings. The company chose Grove cranes due to their high lifting capacities and proven reliability. The new additions include a mix of four-, five- and six-axle Grove cranes.
Robert Baran Crane Group Petrolift is expanding its crane fleet to meet the increasing demand for diverse lifting support. Historically, Petrolift has favored Grove’s six-axle, 300-ton capacity cranes. The company owns over 40 300-ton all-terrains and was the first in Poland to own a large fleet of Grove GMK6300L-1 cranes.
“We love the GMK6300L-1,” said Robert Baran, founder and CEO of Robert Baran Crane Group Petrolift. “It’s extremely reliable and powerful, and a proven best-in-class machine. Now we’re at a stage where we need to expand our offerings; it was natural to turn to Grove and we are looking forward to seeing the advantages and versatility of our new models paying off on jobsites across Europe.”
The first cranes from the latest order have already been delivered and are in use on various projects, including wind turbine installations and work on petrochemical and chemical plants, where their compact dimensions and footprint are highly advantageous.
“It’s great to see such a loyal customer expanding its partnership with us. Our product reliability and top-notch customer support have crafted this opportunity, and we look forward to seeing the new Grove cranes at work,” said Aaron Ravenscroft, president and CEO of Manitowoc.
Founded by Robert Baran, Petrolift is headquartered in Debica with a newly opened sub-facility in Gdańsk, Poland. Petrolift is a family-owned business where Robert works with his father, Jan Baran, a seasoned crane industry professional with over 58 years of experience. With their extensive fleet of all-terrain and crawler cranes, Petrolift offers crane services across Poland and Europe.
