Maxim Crane Works has placed the first order for Tadano’s new CC 78.1250-1 lattice boom crawler crane.
The 1,375-ton capacity crane is an upgraded version of the CC 68.1250-1, with improvements in lifting performance, transportability and operational efficiency.
It is designed for heavy lifting applications in sectors such as wind energy, infrastructure and industrial construction.
The CC 78.1250-1 can achieve a maximum hook height of 736 feet when configured with a 49-foot fixed jib and can lift up to 154 tons in that setup. Its base structure spans 11.5 feet, with two crawler shoe width options — 6.6 feet and 7.9 feet — to provide increased stability and flexibility on various terrain types.
Paul McDonnell, CEO of Maxim Crane Works, said the crane’s specifications made it a suitable addition to the company’s fleet, which is among the largest and most diverse in North America.
"At Maxim Crane Works, we are committed to providing our customers with cutting-edge lifting solutions," said McDonnell.
"The specifications of the CC 78.1250-1, including its exceptional lifting capacity and transport efficiency, made it an easy choice for our fleet. We can’t wait to have this crane available to work on critical projects."
Dean Barley, president and CEO of Tadano America Corp., said the crane was built for high-performance demands, incorporating features such as the IC-1 Remote telematics system and optimized transport systems.
"Tadano lattice boom crawler cranes are designed with a focus on reliability, efficiency and safety" said Barley.
"With our industry-leading innovations — such as the IC-1 Remote telematics system, optimized transport solutions and multiple safety redundancies — the CC 78.1250-1 is built to perform in the most demanding lifting environments. We are proud that Maxim Crane Works, a valued partner, is the first to add this model to its fleet."
