Japanese firm Tadano, considered one of the largest manufacturers of hydraulic cranes in the world, has released its new eGR-1000XLL-1 EVOLT, a 100-ton electric rough-terrain crane that offers customers the same lifting capacity as its diesel fuel-powered counterpart.
The company’s founder started as a steel fabricator in 1919 and founded Tadano in 1948 as a manufacturer of cargo handling equipment. In 1955, Tadano introduced the first hydraulic truck crane for the home market, which had a capacity of two metric tons. Starting in 1960, the company began to build a global network of customers, beginning with Indonesia, and developing and gaining a global fan base for its lineup of hydraulic mobile cranes.
The cumbersomely-named eGR-1000XLL-1 EVOLT 100-ton electric crane comes standard with six lithium-ion battery packs that supply up to 226 kWh of power. That is enough for up to seven hours of continuous operation in a single spot, or up to five hours of continuous operation and five-and-one-half miles of propulsion. The crane can also be fully charged with a standard CCS/J1772 DC fast charger at speeds of up to 150 kW in two hours, keeping downtime at a minimum.
The crane has the ability to operate 24/7 when using grid power as well, giving it added versatility and a greater ability to minimize downtime.
The eGR-1000XLL-1 EVOLT comes with a list of features about as long as its name, including ultra-quiet operation, which will facilitate night work in residential areas and provide greater safety for workers and crane operators; and a lift visualizer that includes a suspended load-monitoring camera—particularly important when there are operator blind spots. In addition, the AML Control System delivers dependable crane control and monitoring solutions, and it incorporates all technological advances from other Tadano rough-terrain cranes.
