Electric 100-ton rough-terrain crane provides same lifting capacity in quiet, zero-emissions machine

Tadano has introduced a new electric rough-terrain crane with the same lifting capacity as its 100-ton diesel counterpart. The new EVOLT eGR-1000XLL-1 is equal to Tadano's GR-1000XLL-4 in capability, but in a quieter, zero-emissions package. The eGR-1000XLL-1 offers up to seven hours of lifting or up to five hours of lifting plus five-and-a-half miles of jobsite travel with its on-board battery pack. 

Zero-emission operation for lifting and transportation

The eGR-1000XLL-1 is powered entirely by high-performance lithium-ion batteries for both transportation and lifting tasks. Carbon emissions will be reduced by approximately 48,500 pounds a year. The crane can be charged using standard 480 VAC grid power or a CCS1 rapid fast charging system, providing versatile and convenient charging options. When using three-phase 480V normal charging with capacity 60A, it takes four-and-a-half to five-and-a-half hours to fully charge the battery. This model offers rapid charging capabilities — reaching completion in just two-to-three hours with a rapid fast charger, and features regenerative braking to enhance battery longevity. Plug-in operation provides continuous crane operation, reducing the environmental impact and improving operational efficiency.

Noise reduction

One of the notable features of the eGR-1000XLL-1 crane is its quiet operation, an improvement over traditional diesel-powered cranes. This ultra quiet performance is especially advantageous in urban areas with stringent noise regulations, allowing for night-time operations and indoor projects without noise disruption.

Lift visualizer

The eGR-1000XLL-1 also offers lift visualizer to enhance safety and efficiency. This feature utilizes a suspended load monitoring camera, allowing operators to monitor suspended loads directly from above. Particularly useful in blind spots such as rooftop work, the lift visualizer pulls critical lift information from the AML control system and displays it on the video screen, including radius, capacities and load, among others, to improve efficiency and safety for the operator.

EVOLT App

The EVOLT App is an efficient tool for crane owners, as it clearly displays the battery status, operating history and distance to the destination. This detailed information on the travel and history of the crane gives valuable support to the operator.

AML crane control technology

The AML Control System delivers dependable crane control and monitoring solutions, ensuring safe and efficient performance during crane operations. This system incorporates the latest advancements from Tadano rough terrain cranes, featuring an enhanced operator interface and a broad range of functionalities. The system facilitates time and cost savings through straightforward on-board diagnostics, improved settings, and easily adjustable lifting limits.
