industry where components are becoming ever bigger and heavier.” The crane has a maximum hook height of 224.5 metres when equipped with a 15-metre fixed jib. In this configuration it can lift 140 tonnes. To improve its stiffness, the width of the base crane has increased from three metres on the CC68.1250-1 to 3.5 metres. Two crawler shoe widths are
available, 2.0 metres and 2.4 metres, to accommodate varying ground pressure requirements. Despite the wider crane base width the CC 78.1250-1 has been designed for ease of transport and Tadano has reduced the weight of each crawler track by ten tonnes – going from 70 tonnes down to 60 tonnes. This means that the complete crane can be transported using just 42 flatbed trailers, with the heaviest load being the tracks. The Boom Booster system, which can be used on both the CC 78.1250-1 and CC68.1250- 1, can also be collapsed for transportability. It goes from six metres wide in use to just three and-a-half metres wide for transport.
Lifting points on various components are designed to make
assembly safe and efficient, plus also facilitate ease of transport. The crane is manufactured in
Zweibrücken, Germany, Tadano says the crane adheres to world- class safety standards and utilises high-quality components. The crane has been designed
to offer multiple redundancies. It has, for example, a dual-engine arrangement with an optimised hydraulic system, allowing for single-engine operation at reduced speeds. The crane's twin Mercedes-Benz engines are also compatible with HVO fuel. Flexible user-friendly interfaces and an optional dual CAN BUS system also contribute to increased reliability and operational flexibility, says Tadano. An optional auxiliary power unit enables cab systems, HVAC, and lighting to operate using a compact 22.8 HP diesel engine, reducing fuel consumption and emissions during standby operation. For enhanced operator
confidence and job site security the crane is equipped with the Tadano Fall Protection System and incorporates protective access to the superstructure and the undercarriage including improved

handrails, catwalks, and access ladders.
The cab design provides an
expanded field of view, while an array of cameras and mirrors help the operator see the hoist drums and other blind spots around the crane. “The cab is the one we
developed for the CC 38.650-1,” says Rydbom. “Its cab is a two- person can and is wider than the one used one the CC68.1250-1. It has a jump seat next to the operator’s seat – so there’s plenty of room in there.” For job sites with uneven terrain an optional Pedestal Crane (PC) kit replaces the crawlers on the undercarriage with outriggers enabling levelling at three different outrigger bases (39.4 ft x 39.4 ft, 45.9 ft x 45.9 ft, and 52.5 ft x 52.5 ft) offering compatibility with existing foundations. The CC 78.1250-1 utilises
Tadano’s IC-1 control system which also gives the operator real-time ground pressures on the rigging aids when erecting long boom systems, plus remote telematics for real-time diagnostics and
