IN FOCUS / TADANO OCEANIA
The new facility in Perth is purpose built and features 2400 sqm of workshop which includes six service bays plus the hard stand.
TADANO INVESTS IN NEW PREMISES Tadano recently announced it had secured larger facilities to accommodate its rapidly expanding operations in Sydney and Perth. Increasing customer service and support through larger workshops and greater spare parts holdings are key focuses for the new facilities. THESE EXPANSIONS ARE A KEY ELEMENT of the ‘Joining Forces’ strategy which is driving an increased focus on customer support and satisfaction. The new facilities will increase the NSW and WA operations abilities to supply product to the increasing demands from the markets and provide best in class after sales service & training. Each facility boasts highly skilled employees that are always willing to go above and beyond to assist Tadano customers. Tadano Oceania has shown great results recently which Tadano headquarters recognises and is supporting with the investment in the new premises. Mauro Ranieri is Tadano’s Workshop 132 / CAL January 2022
& Field Service Manager (WA), provides an update on the purpose-built facility. “This is a purpose-built facility and is a result of the growth we have been experiencing in the Tadano products but also following the acquisition of the Demag business. The move to the new facility will be in February 2022 when we will move the entire Tadano operation from Bibra Lake to Hope Valley. The new facility features 2400 sqm of workshop which includes six service bays plus the hard stand. “The workshop also features a fullsized wash bay approximately 40m long and an internal wash bay. The smaller bay will be used for washing booms
when they have been stripped down. The workshop features two, 10t capacity overhead cranes which will help with the maintenance of the cranes, especially the larger machines, and the hard stand will hold stock and provide more room for cranes arriving for servicing,” said Mauro. Accessibility from the main road to the yard will be very straight forward and provides easy access for the largest of the Tadano and Demag cranes. The facility is also close to the Kwinana hub where you will find a lot of big crane customers along the Kwinana strip. “The facility will be powered by 85 solar panels on a 40kW system with 2x15 kW inverters.
