The 354kW Mercedes-Benz turbo-charged diesel crane engine can meet Euro III emission standards, and also features a cold-temperature preheating start-up. Sensors detect outrigger states. A work area limitation system can also help the crane to work in small areas. Slow stop functions help reduce load swing. The manufacturer is a 50-50 joint venture of Chinese truck maker Jincheng and Japanese crane manufacturer Tadano.
