ALLTERRAIN CRANE

Like all future models in the manufacturer’s range the Tadano AC 2.040-1 features the IC 1 Plus control system with automatic counterweight detection, a capacity radar, and a work area display. The system determines the crane’s lifting capacity for every boom position as a function of the superstructure’s slewing angle, which makes use of the maximum available lifting capacity with any outrigger configuration, including asymmetrical ones.
