Rough Terrain Cranes
Rough terrain cranes have a single cab located on a rotating superstructure and drives on two axles. Driving these cranes is typically restricted to jobsites because of the low travel speed, though some cities and countries do allow rough-terrain cranes to be certified for street use. As the name implies, these cranes are capable of traversing very rough terrain to reach their working location.
Tadano America’s six hydraulic rough terrain cranes have many capacities, making them extremely capable off road. With transport weights ranging from 30 to 80 tons, each crane is manufactured in accordance with stringent quality and regulatory requirements for its safe handling of materials. Each includes the Tadano electronic Load Moment Indicator system with control lever lockout function, lift status indicator, outrigger status indicator, and many more safety features.
Tadano manufactures all terrain cranes that are ideal for both on and off-road construction and industrial projects. Regardless of the location, temperature or climate, Tadano’s all-terrain cranes are just as reliable in bold new development projects as well as in meticulous maintenance operations on historical landmarks.
All of the all terrain cranes feature FAUN purpose built frames with two-man, full width carrier cabs of composite structure (steel sheet metal and fiber glass), windshield of laminated safety glass with windshield wipers and washers, sliding side windows of hardened safety glass and adjustable seats with safety belts and headrests. Safety devices include electronic load moment device and automatic overload shut-off, hoist limit switch with shut-off, overload warning and load moment gauge. Digital displays show boom angle, boom length, sheave height, working radius and hook load.
