Cropac Equipment Purchases First Tadano GT-800XL-2 in Canada

Canadian Crane Leader acquires debut Tadano 80-ton Truck Crane.

Cropac Equipment has been serving the heavy equipment needs of Canadian contractors since 1977, and they recently purchased the first GT-800XL-2 in Canada. Cropac is Tadano’s distributor for Canada, and this new 80-ton Truck Crane (5-section 154.3′ power boom, 33.1 ft / 58.1 ft bi‐fold jib, self-removable counterweight, max speed 105 km/h) will be an excellent addition to their excellent fleet. Tadano announced two new Truck Crane models (120-ton GT-1200XL-2 and the 80-ton GT-800XL-2) at ConExpo earlier this year, and Cropac looks forward to this ideal budget taxi crane being popular all over Canada.

Andy Whitehouse, Cropac General Manager for Tadano & Kobelco Products, shares his enthusiasm for the new GT-800XL-2, "Everyone knows the quality of Tadano cranes, and this new truck crane will be a great fit for our customers and the Truck Crane Industry in Canada. Plus, the 80-ton rental market is popular throughout Canada. This machine was presold well before arriving to Cropac. The GT-800XL-2’s new owner, Michael Karaaslan of DMD Building Systems, is excited to get the unit to work within their existing crane fleet and experience the reliability and low cost of ownership that Tadano has brought to the North American crane market for decades."
