Spotted in Japan, a couple of the new six axle 300 tonne Tadano All Terrain cranes designated the ATF 300G-6 - which would fit into the product line between the current ATF 220G-5 and the ATF400G-6. The new crane of which we have few details at this stage, looks like a lighter version of the 400G-6, with the same chassis and 60 metre main boom, but a different counterweight configuration. The 300 has a maximum of 78 tonnes, while the 400 has 138 tonnes. The difference can be seen on the stability part of the chart, particularly at long … [Read more...]

New Tadano for I&H Kran Transport Montage Service
Crane service provider I&H Kran Transport Montage Service, based in Germany, added a 6-axle Tadano ATF 400G-6 all terrain crane to its fleet. Nils Laumann, I&H member of the management, said, “Normally, such a lifting capacity is only provided by 7-axle machines, which restricts flexibility enormously. The ATF 400G-6 takes us through all roundabouts in our core area and need not be accompanied by escort vehicles. “As we keep our fleet permanently up to date, the resale value of the cranes is essential. With the two engines, I can verify … [Read more...]

Crane service provider Daum HKS in Germany has added a 5-axle Tadano ATF 110G-5 all terrain crane to its fleet. Jürgen Klee, Daum HKS managing director, said, “Our decision for the ATF 100G-5 has proved to be worthwhile.

The local union claims that the ship based employees carrying out the lift were not qualified under Australian … [Read more...]
