New test facility for Tadano-Faun

Tadano Faun has opened a new, 43,000 square metre/10.6 acre test site for its cranes in Pegnitz to the north of its main plant in Lauf.

The location was chosen for its significantly lower land costs compared to a site close to its 150,000 square metre main plant.

The idea is that completed cranes will complete a test drive to the test site and then run through the normal lifting tests before shipping. The new facility is located close by the E51/A9 Autobahn.
