Tadano will debut a new 70t crane with increased lifting capacities at Bauma as part of its innovation campaign, the manufacturer has announced.
According to the firm the new Tadano AC 4.070-2 All-Terrain Crane comes with enough power to transport its sizeable maximum counterweight of 11.9t by itself while staying within an axle load limit of 12t. In addition, it can still manage 4.4t when the axle load is reduced to 10t instead.
With a main boom length of 50m it comes with increased lifting capacities, up to 7.1t at a radius of 12m and up to 7.3t at a radius of 10m.
The Tadano AC 4.070-2 can be used as an assist crane for erecting large lattice boom crawler cranes, as well as for residential and functional building construction projects.
“To put it simply, we wanted to bring to life a powerful and cutting-edge 70t crane that would deliver the best performance on the market in as many axle load configurations as possible,” says project manager Sascha Scholler, who was responsible for the development.
The crane has an extremely compact design with a total length of 11.7m and a width of 2.55m making it “the most compact four-axle unit of its class on the market,” Tadano says.
Other highlights include its IC-1 Plus control system, which determines the crane’s lifting capacity for every boom position as a function of the slewing angle, and the Flex Base, an outrigger system that comes as standard and features outriggers that can be extended to any point within their available range.
