This 1984 Grove RT538 (RT500 Series chassis family) is a dependable, dual-winch rough terrain crane equipped for immediate operational deployment. Driven by a Detroit Diesel engine and a powershift transmission, this machine combines multi-mode 4x4 maneuvering with a solid structural base. Featuring a 3-section hydraulic telescopic main boom, side-stowed lattice swingaway extension, main and auxiliary winches, and complete factory documentation, this unit offers a complete, well-documented package for job sites requiring reliable 15–20+ ton class lifting capacity.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & EQUIPMENT PACKAGE
Boom, Jib & Winch Configuration
The lifting setup features a 3-section hydraulic telescopic main boom paired with a side-stowed lattice swingaway jib extension mounted to the base section. Its dual-hoist configuration positions both main and auxiliary winches directly on the upper superstructure counterweight assembly. Rigging includes 5/8" wire rope reeved to a heavy-duty main hook block, alongside an auxiliary downhaul line equipped with a headache ball for fast single-line cycles.
Operator Station, Controls & Safety Systems
Inside the operator cab, primary hydraulic functions—Swing, Telescope, Boom, and Main/Auxiliary Hoists—are controlled via mechanical floor- and dash-mounted levers. A dedicated right-hand console houses individual push-button controls for front/rear outrigger extensions, stabilizer jack cylinders, and the main outrigger activation hold. Safety systems feature a dash-mounted Krueger Anti-Two-Block / LMI indicator console, a "Rear Wheels Not Centered" axle lockout indicator, and a low air pressure visual/audible warning light. The cab is rounded out with overhead skylight glass, a side sliding window, a 12V circulation fan, a black vinyl suspension seat, and an analog engine gauge cluster covering oil pressure, water temperature, fuel, voltage, and system air.
Carrier, Outriggers & Chassis Hardware
The chassis features a 4-point hydraulic H-style outrigger system with factory steel floats/pads and a custom rear-mounted steel storage basket for carrying heavy wood cribbing. Deep-tread rough terrain tires retain high lug depth for off-road maneuvering. Transport and recovery hardware includes integrated front and rear tie-down lugs, heavy-duty towing shackles, and full road lighting.

WORK APPLICATIONS
This rough terrain crane is perfect for commercial contractors, structural ironworkers, and civil engineering teams executing heavy steel erection, precast concrete placement, tilt-up construction, and civil bridge infrastructure repairs. High maneuverability makes it ideal for industrial plant turnarounds, refinery maintenance, mechanical pump pulls, and precision equipment positioning. Purpose-built for utility and energy grid contractors, it reliably handles utility pole setting, substation transformer installation, and overhead power line work, and excels in staging yard logistics, rail transfer depots, and heavy vehicle recovery operations. Engineered for unpaved, off-grid jobsites, including pipeline access, remote logging roads, and muddy terrain, its multi-mode steering with front, rear, and crab steer plus four-point hydraulic H-style outriggers make it perfect for tight-quarter maneuvering across zero-clearance jobsites and restricted industrial plant corridors.
