Tadano has unveiled two new truck crane models that are designed to be drastically easier to permit in the United States. The 120-USt capacity GT-1200XL-2 and 80- USt capacity GT-800XL are designed with a remarkably thin 8.5’ travel width, enabling an easy permit process for public roads – so you can get your job done faster!
These cranes feature many of the same reliable components that customers know from their rugged GR series rough terrain units; giving them top quality performance at every turn backed by sheer durability more than worthy of its maker’s stellar reputation. That makes travel permits easy to get most places. To meet the most stringent axle-load limits, a boom dolly trailer is available.
Suspension
Get ready to experience a smooth ride like never before with Hendrickson’s Airtek Nxt and RoadMaax purpose-built suspension, 12 forward gears from the ZF TraXon transmission and disc brakes on all wheels for superior stopping power. The Cummins X12 engine has enough muscle under the hood – offering up 500 hp, 1,700 lb.-ft of torque at 65 mph travel speed. Plus it meets EPA 2021 emission standards! Further enhancing your comfort is an extra seat in the full-width driving cab that conveniently fits one more crew member when needed. Enjoy extreme control combined with ultimate luxury smoothing out even rough terrain – this combo brings truck crane driving into 21st century technology excellence!
Fuel Efficiency
Both the GT-1200XL-2 and the GT-800XL feature innovative technology, including a positive control system for metering hydraulic pump discharge during operation, plus Eco Mode to ensure engine speed is safely managed. The operator cab tilts up an impressive 15° offering neck strain relief when working at higher angles while the large in-cab monitor provides clear views of action along with standard cable and backup camera feeds. Plus our long boom strengths combined with asymmetric outrigger setup capability offers superior lifting power – even on confined sites – so you can take your business further than ever before!
Telematics
Hello-Net telematics comes standard on both the GT-1200XL-2 and GT-800XL-2. It connects the office, service technicians, and Tadano to cranes in the field.
The Hello-Data Link communicates operating information instantly and wirelessly to mobile devices. That gives fleet managers the data to make more informed business decisions.
Diagnostics
As for most modern cranes, diagnostics are a an often overlooked component. Luckily, Jaltest Off-Highway Software covers these Tadano cranes, as well as all other major manufacturers.
