Tadano launches new V320RC pick-and-carry crane

Tadano has introduced its new V320RC crane, intended for applications in the high-tonnage pick-and-carry segment.

The new addition was developed in collaboration with NMG Italia; the company will also take delivery of the first crane.

NMG Italia assisted with sharing of field experience and outlining of the requirements of industrial lifting customers.

Powered by a 120 V 1,120 Ah battery pack (li-ion packs are optional), the V320RC has a gross weight of 31,150 kg (including 9,500 kg of removeable counterweights). Maximum lift capacity is 35 tonnes.

Dimensions of the new crane are 5,000 x 2,150 mm, while the height is 2,400 mm.

The crane is offered with remote-contol operation or with a cab-operator configuration.

In what Tadano is calling a first for this crane segment, a new hydraulic system uses a variable displacement pump paired with an electro-hydraulic control valve. Combined with next-gen control software, the combination is said to reduce battery load by 50% to help extend work periods between recharges.

The telescopic boom is also hydraulically operated, eliminating the need for wire ropes or chains and reducing related maintenance.

Other features include a new ground pressure selection system which provides real-time monitoring of wheel load. The system alerts the operator should these pressures exceed preset levels.

The crane can select the appropriate operating mode using onboard systems which detect installed attachments and counterweight.
