Tadano Mantis Corporation is introducing the new GTC-1600 at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020. The 160 US ton model will expand the GTC product line to six machines.

GTC-1600

The new GTC-1600 (160 US ton/145 tonne) boasts a 6-section, 42.8ft to 200.1ft (13.1m – 61.0m) hydraulic boom designed for flexibility – with higher, longer capabilities for lift work, while also enabling out-of-level and pick-and-carry work. The main boom is complemented by a 33.8ft / 59.1ft (10.3m / 18.0m) bi-fold jib with offsets at 0°, 20°, and 40°. Jib length of up to 105.0ft (32m) is possible with two 23.0ft (7m) optional lattice inserts, giving a maximum tip height of up to 305 feet. An optional 11.8ft (3.6m) heavy lift jib with 20° and 40° offsets is ideal for tilt-up work in tight spaces. Mechanical offset on all jibs is standard, with optional hydraulic offset available.

The GTC-1600 is designed for easy set-up with efficient features like a self-erecting counterweight system with remote control, integrated carbody jacks and hydraulic quick couplers for track drive hose bundles allowing simple track frame removal and handling.

GTC-900

The GTC-900 (90 US ton/80 tonne) is the largest sub-100 ton tele-boom crawler on the market and features a full power, 5-section boom with maximum extended length of 141’ 1” (43.0 m). The main boom is complemented by a 33.1ft / 58.1ft (10.1m / 17.7m) bi-fold jib with 3.5°, 25°, and 45° offsets. Powered by a Cummins Euromot stage V, US EPA Tier 4f, B6.7 diesel engine rated 231 kW (310 hp) @ 2200 rpm. 

The travel system features 2-speed track drives with maximum speeds of 2.11 mph (3.4 km/hr) and a maximum unladen gradeability of 78%. The new, optional 2-stage carbody jack system provides easy transport with over 50” (1.3m) jacking height and clearance for up to 10ft (3.0m) wide trailers.

The GTC-900 is designed for flexibility -- performing well for lift work, while also excelling at out-of-level, pick-and-carry, and foundation work. It will be exhibited with an ICE® Model 14D-C vibratory hammer, highlighting the crane’s strong hydraulic capability for piling work without the need for a separate power pack. 

GTC-550

The GTC-550 (55 US ton/50 tonne) features a 4-section full power boom that allows continuous telescoping with load to the maximum extended length of 113’ 10” (34.7 m). The main boom is complemented with a 28.9ft / 49.9ft (8.8m / 15.2m) bi-fold jib with 5°, 25°, and 45° offsets. An optional Heavy Configuration Counterweight package (28,200 lb /12,791 kg) provides increased lifting performance at longer radiuses. 

With an operating weight of 103,900 lbs (47,128 kg), the GTC-550 can ship in one standard truckload. The machine is powered by a Cummins Tier 4f, Euromot stage IV QSB6.7 diesel engine rated 260 hp (194 kW) @ 2,200 rpm. The GTC-550 boasts a maximum unladen gradeability of 85%, and an unladen ground pressure of 9.3 psi (0.65 kg/cm2).

All Tadano Mantis GTC models are equipped with OPTI-WIDTH™, allowing limitless combinations of symmetrical and asymmetrical track width setups with no requirement for pinning of the track frames in fixed positions. OPTI-WIDTH™ load charts for asymmetrically positioned tracks can increase lifting capacity over 30% compared to the symmetrical tracks. All models feature pick-and-carry capacity thru 360°and automatic switching load charts for operating on slopes up to 4 degrees.
