Another Tadano for Stoddart

UK based rental company Stoddart Crane Hire has taken delivery of a 130 tonne Tadano ATF130G.

The new crane is equipped with a 60 metre main boom and an 18 metre bi-fold swingaway extension. Maximum counterweight is 42 tonnes, while the overall width is 2.75 metres, an advantage in the Scottish Highlands region that the company serves, compared to a three metre chassis.

The new unit also features multi-point outrigger settings for greater flexibility in confined job sites and Tadano's Lift-adjuster system which automatically compensates for boom deflection to give a true vertical lift from the ground.
