The Crane Hub team was on the ground at Tadano Pan America Headquarters in Houston TX and got to see the first eGR-1000XLL-1 in North America. The crane came through the port of Freeport and is fresh on American Soil. This is the first Tadano All Electric Rough Terrain Crane in North America. During our visit with Tadano Pan America, Engineers were training the American Technicians how to perform maintenance on the new EVOLT.
The new EVOLT eGR-1000XLL-1 delivers the same powerful lifting capability as a GR-1000XLL-4, but in a quieter, zero-emissions package. Crane operation noise is 99 dB, and approximately 48,500 lbs of CO2 emissions per year will be eliminated. The eGR-1000XLL-1 offers up to 7 hours of lifting or up to 16 miles of traveling with its on-board battery pack. The Boom length is 167.3 ft, and the max lifting capacity is 100 tons. The battery consumption can be reduced by operating the crane during normal or rapid charging. One of the standout features of this 100-ton crane is its quiet operation, a notable improvement over diesel-powered cranes. This ultra-quiet performance is especially advantageous in urban areas with stringent noise regulations. Enhancing safety and efficiency, the eGR-1000XLL-1 also offers Lift Visualizer, this feature utilizes a suspended load monitoring camera, allowing operators to monitor loads directly from above. The eGR-1000XLL-1 is one of the many ways Tadano Green Solutions is lowering CO2 emissions and reducing industrial waste.
Another feature of the EVOLT eGR-1000XLL-1 includes the Smart Counterweight system which allows the counterweights to be moved between two mounting positions. This feature improves lifting capacity by up to 19%. Load Moment Indicator [AML-E ] features a size-up 12.1-inch color touch panel that consolidates operation information and settings for increased work efficiency and comfort. It also uses a capacitive touch panel, allowing you to tap and flick like on a mobile device. The Smart Chart expands the working area, allowing you to get the best crane performance in any outrigger extension setup. The Tadano View System Supports safety confirmation through an above-the-vehicle image shown on the large multi-function display.
The App for the EVOLT clearly displays the battery status, operating history, and distance to the destination for Tadano electric rough terrain crane on the screen. It displays information related to operations and traveling of the electric rough terrain crane to support the operator. In the “Battery information,” it timely displays the “battery level,” “cruising range,” and “time until fully charged.” In the “Operating history,” it displays work records and travel history, including operating hours, distance traveled, and energy consumption. In the “Map,” it displays the “approximate distance to the destination” by setting a destination. HELLO-NET is a tool that connects the crane operations with owners, their service staff, and the manufacturer through satellite. This high quality telematic tool collects the data of the crane including working history, maintenance data and machine location. HELLO-NET can be accessed by the manufacturer to assist with downtime and to help improve Tadano support services. HELLO-DATA LINK connects cranes to mobile devices by wireless LAN, allowing you to receive operating status, indications, error codes and other information in real-time from outside the cab. HELLO-DATA LINK helps crane and site supervisors to monitor operating status and stay informed on repairs and maintenance.
