New Tadano GTC

Tadano is adding a 60 ton/54.5 tonner to its GTC range of telescopic crawler cranes.

The new GTC-600-2 is an upgrade of the current 55 ton/50 tonne GTC-550 in the Tadano GTC lineup, which it replaces.

The GTC-600-2 features a 34.7 metre four section full power boom, topped by an 8.8 metre to 15.3 metre bi-fold swingaway extension with up to 45 degrees of offset, Opti-Width variable track width with automatic load chart selection to suit actual width - from 3.5 metres fully retracted to 5.2 metres fully extended, long with out of level charts for 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and four degrees along with full pick & carry capacities.

The new crane also features an improved slewing system with closed-loop hydrostatic drive for smoother more precise control and the latest Tadano AML-C Rated Capacity Indicator with the possibility for the operator to set work zone limits for slew angle, height, and radius, and the crane has functional soft stops as operation approaches these pre-set limits.

The GTC-600-2 is powered by a Cummins Tier 4f, Euromot stage IV diesel, while options include a ‘Heavy Configuration’ with 12,791kg counterweight package for improved capacities at longer radii.

The new crane weighs 45.3 tonnes all up and can be transported in North America on a single truck in ready to work configuration.

Built at the Tadano Mantis plant in the USA, it will initially only be marketed in North America. Mantis chief operating officer Reagan Bull said: “Our latest addition to the GTC Series provides incredible value for its users. It’s the only 60 ton capacity teleboom crawler that is transported on one truck, plus it has incredible job versatility. The GTC-600-2 will excel in core applications like bridge/heavy civil, power transmission and foundation construction, while being appealing for lift crane-based markets as well.”
