Tadano has improved the reliability of the GR-500EXS/550XLS by using a more conventional engine (Euromot 2 level), improving the maintainability of each component, and including various innovations for maintenance cost reduction, etc. This makes for very effective use in urban jobsites and other confined areas. Furthermore, by changing the elevating cylinder from the currently used long, single cylinder-design to a shorter twin cylinder-design in addition to moving the cabin position forward, visibility from the driver's seat has improved dramatically, making for a much safer operator experience while driving at the work site.Įxtra reach is provided by a 2-staged under slung jib that stows alongside the base boom section and features easy installation at confined jobsites, as compared with conventional swing around type boom extensions. This is very effective for large jobsites like mega-sized mining sites. In addition, it can travel without stopping for cooling. The maximum traveling speed of the GR-500EXS/GR-550XLS is 44km/h which is better than competitor products in the same class. Its overall width is less than 3m which is effective for maneuverability narrow spaces, like those found in urban areas. The GR-500EXS/GR-550XLS has a compact carrier that minimizes the setup space necessary at a jobsite. The GR-500EXS/GR-550XLS is a strategic model rough terrain crane for the popular 50 ton class, and we believe it will further enhance the Tadano brand name.

This new model will meet customers' needs more than ever due to its easy maintenance and high performance at a great value.

Tadano is introducing this new 50 metric ton class rough terrain crane for emerging markets where customers require compact rough terrain cranes to operate in confined jobsites in urban areas. The GR-500EXS type will be sold in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania, and the GR-550XLS type will be sold in Central　and South America. The new GR-500EXS/GR-550XLS boasts a 50 metric ton capacity with a 33m 4-section boom and compact carrier. is launching a new rough terrain crane for overseas markets.
