A new Tadano Mantis GTC-800 has been delivered to American Crane & Rigging LLC and bare leased to American Iron Inc. in the state of New York by Empire Crane Company.
The 88-ton telescopic-boom crawler crane will be erecting steel for the new Sullivan County Jail.
Michael Hoy, who owns both American Crane & Rigging LLC and American Iron Inc., is thrilled with the new machine: “Self-assembly is a fraction of the time in comparison to conventional rigs in their class, and the hydraulic boom gets this crane built in a smaller foot print unlike conventional crawlers," he said.
"With adjustable load-charted track spans, pick-and-carry, out-of-level load charts and no outriggers to crib, these cranes have advantages over RT's as well," Hoy added. "This rig fits our erecting steel and our rental market needs perfectly. It is also designed for pile driving. Please call us if you need to rent this versatile crane.”
The new GTC-800 features a five-section, 141.1-ft. boom and a 58.1-ft. bi-fold jib. The crane's load charts switch automatically for operation up to 4° out of level. The crane's level-ground charts allow work at slopes of up to 1.5°.
The GTC-800 has the Tadano AML-C rated-capacity indicator with Opti-Width (Tadano Mantis’ system allowing asymmetric track positioning), HelloNet Telematics, and a Cummins 310-hp QSB6.7 Tier-4 Final engine.
