Tadano is bringing a new line of wheeled and crawler chassis mobile elevated work platforms to the United States and Canada, including a 2,200-pound capacity model that can hold up to 10 occupants.
The introduction of the new range stems from Tadano’s recent acquisitions of both Nagano, a manufacturer of self-propelled crawler boom lifts previously available in Japan and Europe, and crane manufacturer Manitex International. Tadano originally purchased 2.9 million Manitex shares – a 15% stake – for $32.7 million in 2018.
Telescopic lifts with wheeled chassis
The standout unit in the eight-model lineup is the AS-63HD, which Tadano calls a “disruptive product” that combines the outreach of a boom lift with the vertical lifting power of a rough-terrain scissor lift.
The heavy-duty AS-63HD features a 62-foot 8-inch platform height and a maximum horizontal outreach of 37 feet 4 inches. Tadano says the 13-foot 9-inch by 6-foot-4-inch by 3-foot 7-inch platform with a 2,200-pound capacity is the “first-of-its-kind in North America,” allowing contractors to move workers and heavy materials simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple machines on site.
Powered by a 74.3-horsepower Kubota V3800 engine, the four-wheel-drive unit with solid tires offers gradeability up to 40% with 5-degree tilt control and travel speeds up to 3 mph. Automatic 4-motion control allows operators to position the lift in any straight-line direction, while 360-degree continuous platform rotation offers a broad working range.
The model’s rigid mast and four-section synchronized telescoping boom ensure near-zero platform deflection. No outriggers or stabilizers are required. Optional generator installation packages and a 120V AC outlet are available on the platform.
United Rentals is the first company to add the AS-63HD to its fleet.
Tadano’s other wheeled chassis model, the high-reach AS-69J, features a 68-foot 7-inch platform height, a maximum outreach of nearly 55 feet and a jib for increased flexibility.
