North America’s leading crane rental company, Maxim Crane Works, has placed the first global order for Tadano’s newest lattice boom crawler crane, the CC 78.1250-1. The model was officially launched at bauma 2025, where Maxim Crane Works swiftly marked a significant milestone by securing the inaugural unit during an official signing ceremony held at Tadano’s booth.
The new Tadano CC 78.1250-1 boasts an impressive 1,375-ton (1,250-tonne) lifting capacity, significantly enhancing the capabilities established by its predecessor, the CC 68.1250-1. The advanced crane is designed for maximum performance in demanding sectors, including wind energy, infrastructure, and industrial heavy lifting projects.
Enhanced Stability and Performance
With a maximum hook height of 736 feet (224.5 meters), when equipped with a 49-foot (15-meter) fixed jib, the CC 78.1250-1 can lift up to 154 tons (140 tonnes), addressing critical industry requirements. Enhanced stability is provided by a widened base structure of 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) and two available crawler shoe widths—6.6 feet (2.0 meters) and 7.9 feet (2.4 meters) — making it highly adaptable to various ground conditions.
