Grove Cranes Mobile cranes

Coolant capacity & service interval

Grove Cranes mobile cranes utilize coolant with a capacity range of 21,9 to 32,2 liters. Service intervals include checks every 10 hours and changes every 2000 hours or 12 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Grove RT530E and RT535E cooling systems each hold 32.2 liters of coolant, a notably larger capacity than the 21.9 liters specified for the YB5515 and YB5518 models, reflecting the greater engine and cooling circuit size typical of rough-terrain cranes in the RT series.
  • The RT530E and RT535E specifications list only a 10-hour check interval for the cooling system, with no coolant change interval stated, distinguishing them from the YB5515 and YB5518 entries which carry both check and change intervals.
  • The YB5515 and YB5518 cooling systems share an identical 21.9-liter capacity regardless of whether the installed engine is the Cummins QSB or the GM unit, indicating the cooling circuit volume is consistent across both engine options within each model.
  • A 10-hour check interval applies across all six configurations listed, a frequency consistent with heavy equipment operating in demanding duty cycles where coolant level and condition can change rapidly.
  • The YB5515 and YB5518 models specify a coolant change at 2000 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger interval means calendar time governs the change schedule for machines with lower annual utilization, while operating hours govern higher-utilization machines.
  • The Cummins QSB and GM engine variants of both the YB5515 and YB5518 carry identical cooling system specifications in every respect, including capacity, check interval, and change interval, meaning engine choice does not alter cooling service requirements for those models.
