Tadano's crane sets new standards for reach

TADANO has unveiled the AC 5.250L-2, an all-terrain crane boasting a 79-m main boom, setting a new standard for reach and lifting capacity in its class.

The five-axle crane, an extension of the AC 5.250-2 series, features a maximum main boom extension of 30 m, with all available boom extensions - ranging from 5.8 to 30 m - being self-erecting. With a total system length of 109 m, the compact AC 5.250L-2 is designed for urban applications, including lifting air-conditioning units over obstructions onto high-rise buildings and assembling large tower cranes.

“Our AC 5.250L-2 is also top of the class when it comes to load moment, which at up to 736 tonne m is one of the best on the market,” explains Peter Kleinhans, Project Manager. “This high load moment is achieved with a working radius of 7 m, a 13.5-m-long main boom and a load weight of 105.2 tonnes. In addition, Tadano offers an optional heavy-lift attachment for even heavier loads up to 138.7 tonnes on the short boom with additional sheaves.”

Like the basic AC 5.250-2 model, the “main boom long version” also impresses with its outstanding transport configurations. The crane with 10 x 6 drive can be moved on cost-effective 16-inch steel wheels on public roads while complying with the 12-tonne axle load limit with a considerable amount of equipment including a 32-tonne Vario hook block and outriggers with a total weight of less than 60 tonnes, transport brackets for extensions, and up to 250 kg of equipment in the rear box.
