March 8, 2016 - Tadano Mantis Corp. will introduce the model GTC‐800, an 88-ton telescopic-boom crawler crane at Bauma 2016. The GTC‐800 is CE marked and will be available for global sales in late 2016.

 

The GTC‐800 is the second of the new design GTC‐Series telescopic boom crawler cranes. The concept is a telecrawler that meets the requirements of the growing Tadano Mantis core markets of power transmission, bridge and civil, and foundation construction, while expanding the broader appeal of the crane toward lift crane based markets, according to the company. Managed by Tadano Mantis, the purpose-designed, Tadano-built telescopic boom integrates Tadano winches, jib, hydraulic cylinders, AML‐C and Hello Net telematics.

 

The full power, five‐section 37’ 8” - 141’ 1” hydraulic boom is designed for lift work as well as out‐of‐level, pick‐and‐carry, and foundation work. The main boom is complimented with a 33.1-ft. / 58.1-ft. bi‐fold jib that offsets at 3.5°, 25°, and 45°. The maximum lifting height with the jib erected is 198 ft. An optional 8.2-ft. heavy-lift jib, with a maximum capacity of 23.5 tons, that offsets at 3.5° and 30° is also available.

 

Operating load charts for the GTC‐800 are available for up to 4° slope with automatic out-of-level load-chart switching. The “level” ground load charts feature Tadano Mantis’ 1.5° slope allowance. The GTC‐800 has track width sensing and three track width operating zones. The crane has sufficient hydraulic track-extend power to extend and retract the tracks on demand, and the tracks do not require pinning in position once set to operating width.

 

The GTC‐800 is powered by a Cummins Euromot stage IV, EPA Tier 4F, QSB6.7 diesel engine rated 310 hp at 2200 rpm. Engine throttle control is by either auto‐idle, adaptive throttle, or by foot pedal. The load sensing, power controlled hydraulic system optimizes the hydraulic output to the diesel engine power output for highly efficient operation and control. The swing system is controlled by a separate closed-loop hydrostatic transmission for superior swing performance and the maximum swing speed is 2.0 rpm. The travel system features two‐speed track drives with maximum speeds of 2.23 mph and a maximum unladen gradability of 78%. The standard track shoe is a 900mm wide three‐bar semi‐grouser, and an optional 800mm wide steel flat shoe is also available.
