Tadano Launches 1,375-Ton Capacity CC 78.1250-1 Crawler Crane

Tadano has unveiled the CC 78.1250-1, a 1,375 ton capacity lattice boom crawler crane and the successor to the CC 68.1250-1. The new model features enhanced lifting performance, transportability, safety and efficiency, and is engineered for demanding applications such as wind power installations.

With a maximum hook height of 736.5 feet using a 49.2-foot fixed jib, the CC 78.1250-1 can lift up to 154.3 tons. The crane's base width has been increased to 11.5 feet for improved stiffness, and it offers crawler shoe widths of 6.6 and 7.9 feet to support varying ground pressure conditions.

“The CC 78.1250-1 represents a significant step forward in Tadano’s crawler crane development,” said Andreas Hofmann, executive vice president of research & development.

“Customer feedback played a crucial role in its design, ensuring that this crane delivers not only superior lifting capacity but also transport-optimized components and efficient assembly sequences.”

The new crawler crane features a dual-engine setup with an optimized hydraulic system that supports single-engine operation at reduced speeds. Optional systems, including dual Controller Area Network bus and an auxiliary power unit, increase reliability while reducing emissions and fuel consumption during idle periods.

The crane integrates Tadano’s IC-1 control system, providing real-time ground pressure readings and boom configuration data. It also supports HVO-compatible Mercedes-Benz engines, contributing to lower CO2 emissions. The IC-1 Remote telematics system offers remote diagnostics and fleet management capabilities.
