On April 15 2026, Manitowoc delivered a new Grove GMK6300L‑1 all‑terrain crane to Rókin Sp/f, a leading construction firm in the Faroe Islands. The 300‑ton maximum lifting capacity and 80‑meter main boom make the GMK6300L‑1 the largest crane to enter the Faroe Islands market, positioning it as the most powerful mobile lifting solution available for the islands’ demanding harbor and industrial projects.

Rókin Sp/f specializes in harbor construction, drilling, and related infrastructure work. The new crane gives the company the ability to tackle complex coastal projects and heavy‑lift tasks that previously required rented equipment or smaller machines, thereby reducing project lead times and increasing operational flexibility in a region known for harsh weather conditions.

The sale was facilitated by UN Mobilkraner A/S, Manitowoc’s official dealer in Denmark, which will provide ongoing local support and service. This arrangement underscores Manitowoc’s CRANES+50 strategy, which focuses on expanding aftermarket and service revenue streams by ensuring customers have reliable, on‑site maintenance and parts support for high‑capacity machines.

The delivery marks a significant geographic expansion for Manitowoc, demonstrating its capability to secure large contracts in new markets and reinforcing its commitment to delivering robust, weather‑resistant equipment to customers worldwide. By adding the GMK6300L‑1 to its portfolio in the Faroe Islands, Manitowoc positions itself to capture future opportunities in the region’s growing infrastructure and maritime sectors.
