It has a high tensile steel rounded boom that features a single telescopic cylinder. The crane has 184ft lifting height and 144.3ft load radius. Extra reach is provided by a jib that extends the lifting height to 241.4ft, with a load radius reaching 153.8ft.
The GR-1200XL has a compact carrier whose size is almost the same as Tadano's GR-1000XL.
The machine features Tadano’s newly-developed Smart Chart, a safety device and control system, through which the crane can achieve a square-shaped rated load capacity footprint, with extended “corners” over the outriggers that increase the load radius depending on the degree to which the outriggers are extended.
The GR-1200XL comes equipped with the manufacturer's fuel monitoring system Eco-Mode, which reduces fuel consumption when the crane is being operated; and Positive control, which reduces fuel consumption when the crane is on standby.
Using Hello-Net telematics, customers can monitor their crane activity, work history, machine position data, and maintenance information with computers and mobile devices.
Tadano said the product has been developed for industrial energy sites, especially in North America.
“Cranes used for construction and maintenance on these sites are required to have high maneuverability, durability, and lifting performance under tough conditions. In addition, there is a need for cranes in the 100USt class to have higher reaching, longer boom lengths and larger lifting capacities,” said the manufacturer.
