Northbank Civil and Marine buys Tadano GTC-1600

Vancouver, WA-based Northbank Civil and Marine, a heavy civil, marine and industrial constructor needed a powerful and versatile crane for multiple dam projects. Lennon Crane, the Tadano distributor in Washington and Oregon, sold the company a GTC-1600 teleboom crawler. This 160-ton crane features a 200.1-foot boom, a Cummins engine and the ability to operate in confined spaces with tracks at multiple widths.

Northbank has worked with Lennon Crane since the company’s inception in 2014.

Northbank’s new Tadano telecrawler will first be placed on a barge to perform work at the Willamette Falls Dam in Oregon City, Oregon. When that job is complete, it will be mobilized to Kachess Lake and Bull Run Reservoir for dam remediation work.

“Following the purchase of our first Tadano GTC in 2020 we have had the opportunity to work with Jamie Land and the Tadano America Group directly,” said Kainan Bodenlos, a principal owner of Northbank Civil and Marine. “Both companies have always exceeded our expectations when it comes to their abilities and customer service. We couldn’t have been happier to work with Lennon Crane in conjunction with the Tadano America Group to purchase our new GTC-1600.”

The 160-ton GTC-1600 is known for its streamlined and smarter setup features and load charts leveraging maximum available lifting capacity for all working conditions, the company said. The telescopic boom crawler is also equipped with self-erecting counterweights.
