GREENER FUTURE Japanese manufacturer Tadano showed its electric eGR-1000XLL-1 at Bauma 2025. This was the European premiere of this crane, a prototype of which was first shown at Con-Expo 2023. The electric rough terrain crane is available in North America and Tadano suggests it will soon be available to customers in Europe and Pacific countries soon, too. “We are currently fleshing out our plans to introduce these emission-free cranes in Europe and Oceania,” says Tadano boss Toshiaki Ujiie. “This is an important part of our de-carbonisation strategy." Tadano is looking to reduce carbon emissions from its business activities worldwide by 25 percent and from its products by 35 percent by 2030. In the long term, the company wants to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The 90 tonne (100 ton) class
eGR-1000XLL-1 has the same the same lifting power as the diesel GR-1000XLL-4 model but with zero emissions and ultra-quiet operation. According to Tadano it provides up to seven hours of lifting or five hours of lifting combined with up to 5.5 miles of onsite travel per charge. It’s ideal for urban construction and other noise- and emission-sensitive environments, says Tadano. The crane has a 51m boom which can be fully extended in 170 seconds. A smart counterweigh system means that the counterweight can be moved between two mounting positions, increasing lifting capacity by up to 20 percent.
The crane has been designed with ease of transportation in

mind and it can be transported at 45.2 tonnes (50 tons) with the counterweight, jib and block removed. The crane also has a Lift Visualiser system designed for enhanced load monitoring which utilises a suspended load monitoring camera. Whilst at Bauma Chilean crane firm Mantención, Proyectos y Montajes (MPM), became the first company in the Pan-American region to buy a model. The Tadano eGR-1000XLL-1 was sold to MPM by Trex, a leading distributor of lifting equipment in the region. “We are thrilled to be the first
company in the Pan-American region to introduce the Tadano eGR-1000XLL-1 into our fleet,” said Daniel Vega, CEO at MPM. “This investment is not just about expanding our capabilities – it’s about leading the industry towards
a greener, more sustainable future. The eGR-1000XLL-1’s performance, combined with its environmental benefits, made it the perfect choice for us.” A video of MPM’s new Tadano

MEGA ORDER Tadano has also been enjoying success with its 80 tonne class GR-800EX rough terrain crane. At the start of the year Saudi- based Arabian Machinery & Heavy Equipment Company (AMHEC) placed an order for 100 GR-800EX units. This is one of the largest orders Tadano has received its 105-year history. According to Tadano, many of the new rough terrains will be used at drilling rigs across Saudi Arabia.
