(Photo credit: Tadano) Tadano is introducing the North American market to its first fully electric rough terrain (RT) crane with the company’s new 100-ton capacity EVOLT eGR-1000XLL-1.
A zero-emissions upgrade to its GR-1000XLL-4, the new eGR comes with an on-board battery pack that can power up to seven hours of lifting, or up to five hours of lifting when combined with up to 5.5 miles of jobsite travel.
The eGR-1000XLL-1’s high-performance lithium-ion battery eliminates fuel use, leading to annual CO2 emission reductions of up to 48,500 lbs. The crane can be charged on a 480 VAC grid power or a CCS1 rapid charging system, with a charge time of 4.5 to 5.5 hours on a normal system and two to three hours when using a rapid charging system.
The crane’s battery power source also leads to significant reduction in operating noise when compared to traditional diesel-powered machines, with this quiet performance optimal for work in urban environments and those with noise regulations.
A number of software solutions come packaged with the crane to drive operational efficiency and safety. This includes Tadano’s Lift Visualizer program, which uses a camera to allow operators to monitor suspended loads from above. The crane also uses a number of programs for monitoring and diagnostics, such as Tadano’s EVOLT App, the AML Control System and the HELLO-NET telematics system.
