With 66 years in business, we are proud to have recently received our 15 year longevity award as a member of the Canadian Crane Rental Association during a productive 3 day AGM & conference in Windsor Ontario.
A.W. Leil Cranes & Equipment is very excited to debut its new 450 USt all-terrain crane. The Grove GMK6400-1 is a new model, and a first of its kind in Canada. As the successor to the popular GMK6400 model, the new GMK6400-1 has made several improvements that boost efficiency and productivity on customer sites such as Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS), faster & more powerful hydraulics, and MAXbase variable positioning outriggers.
As a six-axle machine, the crane outperforms the competition in every category, boasting a maximum tip height of 448 ft (136.6 m) from within a smaller overall footprint — at 57.5 ft (17.5 m) in length, 9.8 ft (3 m) minimum width and a boom overhang of 5.9 ft (1.8 m). This makes it an ideal fit for bridge construction, wind farm work, and other energy and infrastructure applications. Most importantly, this is the most powerful and advanced hydraulic crane that can travel Atlantic Canadian roads without removing the boom – saving time & money on the job site during assembly.
The crane is well appointed with the optional, self-rigging MegaWingLift™ attachment, which can increase lift capacity on the 197 ft (60 m) five-section main boom by up to 70%, while reducing counterweight loads and trucking costs. Additionally, the main boom and luffing jib are equipped with factory boom-walk fall restraint systems to keep our employees (and your job site) safe.
The GMK6400-1 excels for wind turbine maintenance, bridge construction, HVAC, tower crane erection, stack inspections, refinery work, heavy trans-loading, and just about anything else you can throw at it.
