GLH crane
Designed for handling heavy lift and multipurpose cargoes

Crane type

GLH electro-hydraulic cranes are self-


contained units with all machinery
enclosed in the crane housing. This
protects them from weather, corrosion
and damage. The standard GLH range
covers lifting capacities from 100 to 1000
tonnes, with outreaches of up to 36m.

Each crane is tested electrically,


hydraulically and mechanically before
delivery.

General design

GLH cranes are designed to meet the


rules of all recognised classification
societies.

The MacGregor control system ensures


smooth, fast and stepless crane control, HOISTING CAPACITY:
