Product engineers from the Grove manufacturing facility in Shady Grove, Pa. traveled to Fletcher, N.C. recently to witness the assembly and commissioning of a Manitowoc 999 and take notes on possible product improvements. Ring Power Crane delivered the machine — one of the first Series 3 999s off the assembly line — to Tindall Corp. in early May for a job at the Sierra Nevada Brewery. Grove reps Greg Rock (Field Performance), Wayne Forsythe (Manufacturing), Clay Nunemaker (Final Assembly), Ken Strong (Manufacturing), Travis Schultz (Manitowoc CraneCARE), Dave Edinger (Product Verification Center), Edwin Blair (Test Track), Justin Gipe (Paint – Final Detail) and Frankie Rogers (Tindall Crane Operator) were joined on-site by Jeff Murray, Ring Power CraneCarolinas regional sales manager, and Paul Spry, N.C. crane field service tech I. Paul oversaw the assembly, performed the pre-delivery inspection and calibrated the new crane.
