The Tadano AC 7.450-1 is in a class of its own: With a carrier length of 15.99 m and an outrigger base of 8.45 m, it is as compact as a six-axle crane, and yet is as powerful as some eight-axle cranes. In fact, the AC 7.450-1 can reach lifting capacities of up to 23.7 tonnes when its 80 m main boom is fully extended, and that is without even using the SSL system. Bring in SSL, and the lifting capacity goes up to an unbeatable 37.3 tonnes. In addition, Tadano is using a new Sideways Superlift design for the first time ever in the AC 7.450-1 – one that makes handling and setup easier. The system can be extended with an 81 m luffing jib, and the sections of this jib can also be used to assemble fixed extensions.
