Grove RT750E to RT990: rough terrain crane

History and service record of RT750E to RT990

Rough terrain firsts. Grove introduced the world's first slewing rough terrain crane in 1968; its rough terrain, truck-mounted and all-terrain cranes are built by Grove U.S. at Shady Grove, Pennsylvania. Manitowoc Cranes, Wikipedia.
Grove's rough terrain heritage. One of Grove's most successful rough terrain cranes was the RT-58, built from 1960 to 1978 as a 14-ton cab-down machine with a three-section boom; the RT750E and RT990 come from the later, larger rough-terrain line. Grove, Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki; Grove Cranes celebrates 75 years, Sims Crane.
Units in the field. Listings show an RT750E from 2000 and an RT990 from 1989; the RT990 is a 90 US ton 4x4 crane and is no longer in production. Grove RT990 specifications, CraneMarket.
