GROVE RT530E-2
Grove design and engineering expertise have been developed through years of manufacturing an
outstanding line of performance-proven, rough-terrain cranes. The RT530E-2 builds upon this
tradition with exceptional mobility and fast set-up on any job-site.

Features
Boom shape
The RT530E-2 incorporates a rectangular boom shape
made from 100 ksi steel, which eliminates weight and
maximizes structural capacities.

Crane Control System (CCS)

The Crane Control System (CCS) offers a user
friendly interface, two full graphic displays
mounted vertically for easier viewing and a
jog dial for easier navigation and data input.
The system allows the electronic controllers to
be reprogrammed by the operator for specific
speed and reaction.

Cab
The Full Vision cab with tilt-telescoping steering
wheel, single or dual-axis controllers, hot water heat
and air conditioning provide all day comfort for
the operator.

Tip height
Maximum tip height of 44,5 m (146 ft) with
13,7 m (45 ft) telescopic extension.

CraneSTAR is an exclusive and innovative crane asset management system

that helps improve your profitability and reduce costs by remotely monitoring critical crane data.

Jobsite benefits
Exceptional maneuverability
Maneuvering around the job site is easier with Grove rough-
terrain cranes. Four-wheel drive combined with four modes
of steering (front only, rear only, crab and coordinated) allows
operators to get closer to the lift regardless of congested areas or
adverse ground conditions. All modes are controlled through
steering wheel and rocker switches, so there’s no need for
operators to stop and align the wheels.

Jobsite flexibility means more lifts for

greater profitability
Grove rough-terrain cranes can be reconfigured to fit numerous
lifting applications, giving you more lifting versatility. That
provides you with the potential to win more jobs for greater
profitability and return on investment.

Innovation drives enhanced operation

and efficiency
Grove utilizes the latest technology to provide the highest
work efficiency and safety — all while meeting today’s strict
environmental standards. Our innovations ensure reliable crane
performance along with operator productivity and comfort.

Boom extension capacity notes:

1. All capacities above the bold line are based on structural strength of boom extension.
2. 26 ft and 45 ft boom extension lengths may be used for single line lifting service.
3. Radii listed are for a fully extended boom with the boom extension erected. For main boom lengths less than fully extended, the rated loads
are determined by boom angle. Use only the column which corresponds to the boom extension length and offset for which the machine is
configured. For boom angles not shown, use the rating of the next lower boom angle.
Warning: Operation of this machine with heavier loads than the capacities listed is strictly prohibited. Machine tipping with boom extension
occurs rapidly and without advance warning.
4. Boom angle is the angle above or below horizontal of the longitudinal axis of the boom base section after lifting rated load.
5. Capacities listed are with outriggers fully extended and vertical jacks set only.
