What is a Grove wagon?

[Tweeter]

Is Grove a style or a brand for wagons? Does anyone have a picture of one? Were they made with a dump body?

Grove was a brand of wagons, I couldn"t say what models they had, my father had a Grove hay rack. They used a yellow paint scheme.

Are they still made today or were they made a long time ago only?

They were popular 30 years ago. i don't know if the company is still in business. They used a rubber cross convever and I belive they could be reversed to unload from either side.

Grove wagons were first built in the late 40's by the company started by John L. Grove in Shady Grove, Pennsylvania. They built hay racks and forage boxes. Because of the need to move heavy peices of steel they also developed a hydraulic crane and became a world leader in cranes, and the company became Grove World Wide. And has since been bought by other crane manufactures. Wagons were probally discontinued in the late 60's or early 70's.
