12th TADANO mobile crane at I&H I
&H Kran-Transport-Montage-Service has once again displayed its trust in TADANO by investing in its 12th TADANO crane – the 5-axle ATF 220G-5. The new look of the driver’s cab provides various new features and maximum comfort. Features include: a better panoramic view, ergonomic seats made by Recaro for an optimised seating position to prevent fatigue on long distances, and the multifunction touch display which is identical to that in the superstructure cab. The TADANO crane is equipped with two engines made by Mercedes Benz (Euromot IV, EPA Tier 4f), featuring a power output of 390 kW (530 HP) for the carrier and 145 kW (197 HP) for the superstructure. In addition to reduced fuel consumption, the separate recording of the operating hours enables a clear indication of the amount of crane work and driving accomplished. The rugged boom has a mast length of 13.2 to 68 metres. “At such working heights, we require an especially powerful boom for lifting operations. Especially important for us is the mechanical strength and the capability of moving the material by crane without the jib,” says Nils Lauman, member of the I&H management. Visit: www.tadanofaun.de
