One of Aspen Equipment’s most challenging sign truck upfitting projects to date has been delivered to a municipal customer in Kanabec County, Minnesota. Featuring a 6,000 lbs capacity Palfinger crane plus operator catwalk, the operation to fit out a mid-sized Chevrolet Silverado 6500 HD chassis cab was the kind of conversion that the company is frequently called upon to perform — but rarely to this level of specification.

New to Aspen Equipment’s heavy equipment line-up is the 2023 Grove GMK6300L. Featuring steer-by-wire technology and the patented MEGATRAK independent suspension system, this all-terrain crane is versatile and compact to navigate a range of jobsites.
