Hello mvrcad, I have drawn cranes and you can find some in the CAD BIM Blocks library here in the site.
I have others and ask for the models, mainly : LIEBHERR , GROVE and DEMAG.
LIEBHERR offers their DXF ( = DWG ) files for free ( not DEMAG ) but they are coming from 3D and without AutoCAD blocks.
Other companies like TADANO can provide AutoCAD files if you give them the serial number.
If you search for profersionnal AutoCAD blocks you can go to TDKv at the cost of 65 euros for a simple side or top view.
If you want to check the lifting possibilities and loads on the outriggers I recommand PADLOADS free from GROVE but it's only for GROVE cranes.
You can also buy the software CRANIMAX valid for various cranes.
Ask for more. |

Hello mvrcad, you will find my DWG file named : GROVE_GMK6220-L.dwg wich is the GROVE mobile crane capacity 220 tons but it's the one with 6 and not 5 axles.
The length of the truck is 15.105 m instead of 13.390 m.
The boom length are also different.
Take a look at the file including also the 3D AutoCAD blocks ans maybe I will do the GMK5220.

Hello mvrcad, I have just uploaded a file in the CAD BIM Blocs library : GROVE_GMK5220.dwg
Take a look at it and tell us about it.
It was drawn with the help of the official Manitowo-Grove PDF file + a little help from http://www.anydwg.com" rel="nofollow - www.anydwg.com to transform aPDF file into DWG.
The general dimensions noted on the official PDF are OK and the rest is correct to do cranes configurations at site.

Hello mvrcad, I'm glad that this file is OK for you because I was wondering if it was not too aproximate for your use or whishes.
Although I'm nowhere else on the internet I'm not giving my e mail adress here because it's only the professional one that I'm using ( no modern computer at home and no will to use AutoCAD too after work ).
I will ask the CAD Forum webmaster about this.
