The Grove RT540E rough terrain crane has 40 ton capacity and a four-section main boom which extends to 102 feet. With a small chassis (under 9 feet), it is easy to transport to job sites and is optimal for working in tight quarters. It also features a rugged deep box section frame designed to handle tough conditions. The automotive style control panel on the RT540 features dual-axis electric joystick controllers.

It also comes standard with a 360 QSB6.7L Cummins diesel engine. Grove currently produces the RT540E, which adds new features and upgrades over the previous model.
