The 45 UST ton (40 metric ton) lifting capacity Grove TM500E-2 is a telescopic boom truck crane that comes with a 29 ft – 95 ft (8.8 m - 29 m) four-section full power telescopic boom or the more popular 32 ft -102 ft (9.8 - 31 m) boom. An optional 26 ft – 45 ft (7.9 m – 13.7 m) offsettable telescopic swing-away extension is available for a maximum tip height of 154' (46.9 m). 

Includes Dual-Axis electronic joystick controllers, rear air suspension with shock absorbers, and two engines to reduce fuel usage and boost rated highway speeds up to 65 mph. (103 KM/per hour). 

While no currently longer in production, the TM500E-2 is one of the last two engine truck cranes ever produced.  This model boosts an exceptionally strong load chart for its class and is still fully supported by a global network of Manitowoc Group Authorized Grove Crane Distributors.
