Brand: Tadano – A world-leading Japanese crane manufacturer with 70+ years of expertise in lifting equipment R&D and production. Renowned for precision engineering, stable performance, and global after-sales support, Tadano cranes are trusted by construction, infrastructure, and logistics industries across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
Model: Tadano GT-550E 55-Ton Mobile Crane – A flagship truck-mounted crane in Tadano’s medium-tonnage series, engineered for high-efficiency lifting operations in urban construction, bridge maintenance, and equipment installation. Equipped with a powerful Isuzu 6HK1 engine and advanced hydraulic system, it delivers unrivaled lifting capacity and maneuverability for 55-ton-class tasks.
- Maximum Lifting Capacity: 55 tons (3m working radius)
- Boom Configuration: 5-section full-power telescopic boom; maximum boom length 42m; optional jib extension (11m) for total lifting height of 54m
- Engine: Isuzu 6HK1-TC turbocharged diesel engine; rated power 257kW @ 2,000rpm; peak torque 1,200N·m @ 1,400rpm; compliant with Tier 3 emission standards
- Working Radius: 3m - 38m (main boom); 10m - 45m (with jib)
- Outrigger Span: 6.2m (front/rear) × 6.5m (left/right); 3-level outrigger extension for stable operation on uneven ground
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic transmission; maximum travel speed 80km/h; gradeability 45%
- Operating Weight: 48 tons; counterweight 12 tons
- Hydraulic System: Load-sensing variable displacement hydraulic system; boom telescoping speed 0.5-2.0m/s; lifting speed 0-1.2m/min (heavy load) / 0-4.5m/min (light load)
- 55-Ton Rated Capacity: Handles heavy loads such as precast concrete components, construction machinery, and steel structures with ease, reducing the need for larger tonnage cranes and cutting project costs.
- 42m Main Boom + 11m Jib: Covers a wide range of working scenarios—from low-rise building lifting to high-altitude bridge beam installation. The full-power telescopic boom ensures smooth and precise length adjustment without load loss.
- Multiple Lifting Modes: Supports standard lifting, luffing jib lifting, and narrow-space lifting, adapting to complex job sites like urban downtown areas and indoor workshops.
- Isuzu 6HK1 Engine: Delivers strong power output and fuel efficiency (18-22L/h working fuel consumption), ensuring continuous operation for 8+ hours. The engine’s dust-proof and heat-resistant design is optimized for harsh environments like Middle Eastern deserts and Southeast Asian tropical regions.
- Advanced Hydraulic System: Equipped with Tadano’s proprietary load-sensing technology, the hydraulic system adjusts pressure and flow based on load size, minimizing energy waste and ensuring precise control of lifting movements. High-quality NOK seals and steel-braided hydraulic hoses prevent leakage, even under extreme working conditions.
- Compact Design for Urban Operations: With a minimum turning radius of 7.8m, the crane navigates narrow city streets and construction site alleys effortlessly. The integrated truck chassis eliminates the need for separate transportation, reducing logistics costs.
- Comprehensive Safety Features:
- Load Moment Indicator (LMI): Real-time monitoring of lifting load, boom angle, and working radius; automatic alarm and shutdown when exceeding safety limits.
- ROPS/FOPS-Certified Cab: Protects the operator from falling objects and rollover risks.
- Dual-Circuit Braking System: Ensures reliable stopping power even if one circuit fails; parking brake with anti-slip function for slope operation.
- Outrigger Stability Control: Automatic detection of outrigger extension status; prohibits lifting operations if outriggers are not fully deployed.
- High-Strength Steel Structure: The boom and chassis are made of Japanese high-tensile steel, withstanding long-term heavy-load operations and corrosion in coastal or humid environments.
- Global After-Sales Network: Tadano’s 150+ authorized service centers and 12 regional parts warehouses (Dubai, Singapore, Johannesburg, etc.) provide 7-15 day parts delivery and on-site technical support. The Isuzu engine’s global service coverage ensures easy maintenance in remote markets.
- Urban Construction: Lifting precast concrete columns, steel beams, and construction materials for high-rise residential and commercial buildings.
- Bridge & Infrastructure Projects: Installing bridge girders, maintaining highway guardrails, and lifting pipeline systems for water supply and sewage projects.
- Industrial Equipment Installation: Hoisting generators, compressors, and production line machinery in factories and power plants.
- Emergency Rescue & Disaster Relief: Removing debris, lifting rescue equipment, and restoring infrastructure in post-disaster areas.
- Customization Options: Optional air-conditioned cab (for hot climates), anti-corrosion coating (for coastal operations), Arabic/English operation manuals, and customized counterweight configurations.
- Inspection & Certification: Pre-shipment SGS/BV third-party inspection; provides Certificate of Origin (CO), CE certification, emission compliance reports, and import customs clearance documents tailored to target markets (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, etc.).
- Warranty & Training: 1-year global warranty for the crane’s core components (engine, hydraulic system, boom); free on-site operator training (covering operation, maintenance, and safety protocols) in English/Arabic.
- Spare Parts Supply: Consignment stock service for bulk buyers; 24/7 online technical support for troubleshooting.
