Introducing new rough terrain cranes

Tadano will launch three rough terrain cranes. These cranes are for Asia, the Middle-East, Oceania, Central & South-America, and African markets.

Tadano’s rough terrain cranes in the international market are flagship products that lead the global RT market. In particular, these cranes are used in confined spaces such as energy sites where replacing cranes that breakdown can be difficult.

Cranes are valued based on their high reliability, quality, and environmental-friendliness. These models mark a full model upgrade of the rough-terrain cranes in the 60 t to 80 t lifting class, previously launched in 2011, to further increase our presence in these markets. These products were developed to have improved performance and work area as well as increase worker safety and comfort.

Primary Features Development of three nextgeneration models

Tadano has developed three new next-generation rough terrain crane models with further improved lifting capacity to meet the demands of a growing market.

46 Lifting Africa - Jan/Feb 2020 a lifting capacity of 100 tons. Furthermore, the multi-telescoping cylinder boom features a 51 m longboom, the longest in its class. This expands the work areas and will create new demand. • GR-900EX-4: A newly developed 90-ton lifting capacity model. The GR-900EX-4 is a highly competitive product, even among its class. • GR-700EX-4: A 70-ton lifting capacity crane with a 47-metre long-boom, the longest in its class. This model meets the new demand.

Optimally-Designed Cab The cab design and fittings have been remodelled, greatly improving work efficiency, operability, and visibility.The new large, multifunction colour touch panel display is 26 cm (10.4 inches) in size. It contains crane work information and operation settings, increasing work efficiency. Additionally, as it is a pressure-sensitive touch panel, it can be operated while using gloves.

The cab instrument panel shape, height, and angle of the glass face have also been modified, improving visibility from the driver’s seat. The model also uses the 20-degree cab tilt function for the first time, which helps to reduce operator fatigue when operating the crane for long periods.

Uses the new “Smart Counterweight” system (in the GR1000EX-4)

These are the first RTs to have “Smart Counterweight” which enables the counterweight to have two mounting positions. This feature enables improved stability increased up to approximately 22%.

Our proprietary “Smart Chart”* is also on-board enabling the crane work performance to be maximized.

*This new mechanism extracts work performance to the maximum by changing the conventional circular work area to a square one.

A winch drum monitoring camera as the standard item

A winch drum monitoring camera that checks the winding state of the wire rope when the crane is in operation has been equipped as standard.
