After the end of bauma 2016, the Japanese crane manufacturer TADANO sums up on a positive note: The new 3-axle crane ATF 60G-3, which features a long and powerful, but nevertheless compact main boom and is available with axle loads of 10t and 12t, pulled in scores of visitors. As expected, the new flagship ATF 600G-8 of the TADANO All-Terrain Line was in the focus of public interest.
The revolutionary 8-axle crane, which will be available as of 2017, convinced the numerous visitors thanks to considerably reduced operating expenses. These savings are due to its innovative Triple-Boom System making transport and rigging of a separate boom suspension system a thing of the past, with the crane following TADANO’s fuel-saving dual-engine concept.
Thomas Schramm, General Manager Sales and Marketing, at TADANO: “The very positive feedback of customers and persons interested in the new ATF 60 and ATF 600 is more than promising. But we are also pleased to note that our many other all-terrain cranes which have been upgraded to Euromot 4 level – first of all the ATF 200G-5, which features higher lifting capacities than its predecessor ATF 180G-5 – raised lively interest.
According to Schramm, many customers have indicated a serious interest in buying and would like to take their cranes home with them directly from the bauma exhibition. “This has of course, made us very happy,” he said.
TADANO, follows the policy of accepting orders and commitments to supply only after having accomplished all process steps that are consider necessary to deliver reliable products. Regarding the ATF 60 and ATF 600, the company has assured that the products will be ready for next year.
Dr. Uwe Renk, the Marketing Manager at the German TADANO FAUN GmbH in Lauf / Pegnitz and who was also in charge of organizing the exhibition for the entire TADANO Group had this to say, “Our customers and prospective customers spend valuable time to enter into conversation with us. We express our thanks by listening attentively to them and by picking up their wishes and suggestions in order to further improve our products. On the other hand, it is important to us that our customers and prospective customers come to see us as a sincere and reliable partner who does not fool them and is always at their disposal when needed. This, of course, does not only apply during the exhibition but also throughout the entire duration of the customer relationship.”
Dr. Renk added that the world-wide, reliable After-Sales and Spare Parts Service and the new TADANO fleet management software “HELLO-NET” which has been used in TADANO rough-terrain cranes for many years and could be marveled at for the first time in conjunction with TADANO all-terrain cranes at the bauma exhibition.
In addition to information about the location and the relevant operating states, that software also transmits warnings and error messages of the crane to a server which the TADANO workshop and service staff can access immediately in order to manage fault diagnosis and troubleshooting even faster.
