And on the crane itself
Tadano America chief executive Dean Barley added: "Tadano lattice boom crawler cranes are designed with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and safety. With our industry leading innovations—such as the IC-1 Remote telematics system, optimised transport solutions, and multiple safety redundancies — the CC 78.1250-1 is built to perform in the most demanding lifting environments. We are proud that Maxim Crane Works, a valued partner, is the first to add this model to its fleet."
And the tariff question?
As to the tariff question - the new crane is built in Germany - the first CC 78.1250-1 is not due to ship for some time and the company will monitor developments in the interim. In the short term Tadano has paused shipments to the USA for three weeks while the current colitility plays out.
