The first Tadano GR-700EX-4 from Japan has been delivered to the Tadano Nederland BV location in Purmerend. The Tadano team in Europe tracked the arrival of the GR 700EX-4 in the Netherlands by using the location function of the satellite-assisted Hello-Net telematics system.
With its lifting capacity of 70 tonnes, the GR-700EX-4 is the entry point for the new Tadano rough terrain crane family. In terms of technology, however, it is absolutely on a par with its bigger siblings, and in fact sets new standards in a number of areas: The boom length of 47 meters and the lifting capacity of 70 tonnes at a radius of three meters are a class record. Its synchronized telescoping system can extend the boom to a length of 35 meters in a mere 142 seconds. In addition, it features a particularly compact carrier and has a total height of just 3.82 meters. The crane’s 2-staged, bifold jib offers offset positions of 3.5˚, 25˚ or 45˚ from the main center boom line. This not only makes it possible to transport the new Tadano GR-700EX-4 rough terrain crane very efficiently, but also makes the machine particularly well-suited to tight work sites – especially in conjunction with the Tadano Smart Chart System, which dynamically determines the lifting capacity based on the position of the boom and outriggers. This enables it to provide the maximum available lifting capacity even at constrained locations where the outriggers cannot be extended fully. In addition, the GR-700EX-4 comes with the Hello-Net communication system as standard. This system continuously monitors the crane’s operating data, including its operating status, location, configuration, and maintenance. The matching Tadano Hello-Data Link smartphone app connects the crane to mobile devices, making it easy to conveniently access this data in real time.
