FAR EAST Ӏ TADANO INTERVIEW
or robots? What are the advantages of your approach? In Japan, our cranes are manufactured both by manual welding and by robots. The factory is close to the sea, which is an advantage for the shipping process. See our YouTube video:

How many crane manufacturing facilities do you have in Japan? Where exactly are they located? We currently have four crane manufacturing plants in Japan: Shido, Kozai, Tadotsu in Kagawa Prefecture and Chiba in Chiba Prefecture.
How important to Tadano are your research and development activities? The development of a new crane model involves a thorough market
Tadano is looking to reduce CO2 emissions in all areas of its manufacturing process
survey to determine needs, and every step from design to testing to mass production. The process takes several years from research to the start of development. In addition, the company has established technical research centres in Japan and Europe, where we conduct research (not only on cranes) on a daily basis.
APPLICATION AREAS AND THE FUTURE...
Are there any new application areas underpinning crane sales in Japan and the wider Asia Pacific region? If so, what type of work and what cranes are in demand? Both Japan and APAC are accelerating onshore and offshore wind power projects, and we believe that large crawler cranes and all terrain cranes will be needed for their construction.
And what are your primary aims for future development? The Tadano Group has adopted the message "Our True Mission: Zero Emissions" with the aim of achieving carbon net zero in 2050 and reducing CO2 emissions in its business activities by 25% and in its products by 35% by 2030.
How exactly do you plan to achieve this? We will continue to deliver products that satisfy all environmental aspects, ease of use, and efficiency as "Tadano Green Solutions”. We are committed to leading the way in environmental responsiveness in preparation for future changes in construction sites. EVOLT is the name of a series of fully electric products, and the rough terrain cranes announced this time are the first in the series.
