Tadano has launched a new truck crane for the Singapore market, the GS-600EX. The crane features a 60t capacity with a 42m five-section hexagonal box boom, and a Scania carrier with right-side steering. The Japanese company described Singapore as one of its most important markets in Southeast Asia.
Customers in the country require right-side steering truck cranes that meet emission control regulations and can drive on public roads. In response to customer requests, Tadano designed the crane so it could be driven on public roads without having to dismount the counterweight. The vehicle also meets local emission control regulations.
The crane also comes with the firms Hello-Net tracking system, which allows the customer to monitor their crane activity, work history, machine position data, and maintenance information. The GS-600EX is also equipped with AML, a safety device that includes hydraulically-operated four-point outriggers, slewable front and H-type rear outriggers. Outriggers can be controlled simultaneously or independently from either side of the carrier.
