Grove AP, IND, S4000, TD: four crane families in one database bucket
Under "Grove Hydraulic Truck Crane," SpecCodex actually groups together several distinct Grove crane families: AP models such as AP308 or AP410 are carry-deck cranes for plant and workshop use, the IND24 is an industrial crane with a similar profile, S4000 represents the compact Shuttlelift carry-deck line, and TD180 is a genuine truck-mounted crane on its own chassis. This bucket holds 93 models in the database.

Grove has belonged to Manitowoc since its acquisition in March 2002 for 271 million US dollars, yet still markets its rough-terrain, truck-mounted, all-terrain, industrial and Shuttlelift carry-deck lines under its own name. The number after the prefix in each of the four families roughly tracks lifting capacity or size, not model year.
Because compact carry-deck cranes sit alongside genuine truck cranes in this one bucket, comparing machines purely by model number is risky – an AP410 and a TD180 differ fundamentally in chassis, reach and application. According to the database, chassis weight across the group ranges from 2,549 to 87,808 kg, and engine power reaches up to 336 kW on the largest models – a spread that mirrors exactly this variety of crane classes.
When buying used, what matters most on telescopic cranes is the condition of the boom wear pads, the tightness of the telescoping cylinders, and a function test of every outrigger – leaks here lead to expensive repairs. Matching the serial number against the data plate and the last crane inspection also belongs in the check.
In short: AP and IND24 are compact carry-deck/industrial cranes, S4000 is the smallest Shuttlelift variant, and TD180 is a genuine truck crane – four families under one database roof, where the model number mainly reveals size, not build era.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
