Another new Tadano GTC tele crawler

Tadano Mantis has launched a new 35 ton/32 tonne GTC telescopic crawler crane, the smallest model in the company’s GTC - Global Telescopic Crawler range to date.

The new crane, the GTC 300, has a 27 metre three section full power boom designed and built by Tadano Japan for heavy duty crawler crane applications, such as foundation, pick & carry, and grab work. It is topped with a 7.1 to 12.7 metre bi fold swingaway extension that offsets at 5, 25, or 45 degrees and provides a maximum tip height of 41.1 metres. The load chart is good for pick & carry through 360 degrees, and level ground is anything up to 1.5 degrees. Load charts are also programmed for slopes up to four degrees on main boom, or 2.5 degrees when lifting with the extension.

The new crane is also equipped with Tadano’s Opti-Width track extension system providing load charts for any width, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical from a fully retracted 3.3 metres to a fully extended 4.8 metres with 750mm wide track pads – narrow pads area also available for a reduced transport width of 2.58 metres. No track extension pinning is required allowing widths to be varied quickly and easily. The track width and set up, slew position and slope sensor data are all automatically picked up by the Tadano AML-C Rated Capacity Indicator to calculate an optimum load chart for each position.

Overall height of the crane can be reduced to just 2.42 metres for clearance under obstacles and easier transport. Overall weight is 32,440kg. Power comes from a Cummins Tier 4f diesel, with auto-idle and adaptive throttle controls. Maximum travel speed is 2.1 mph and a maximum gradeability 70 percent.
Tadano’s Hello-Net telematics monitors machine work history, position data and maintenance data. Options include aa drilling augur, hydraulic tool circuit with hose reel, hydraulic pole claw and a WP-750, two person, 340 platform capacity work platform, which can be mounted to the main boom or the base extension for a maximum working height of 38 metres,.
