Matters to be attended to concerning counterfeit Tadano cranes

First of all, we like to express our many thanks for your continued patronage of our product in your market.
Now, concerning the subject matter, we inform you that as you may know, in recent years, not a few number of counterfeit Tadano products have been appearing on the market worldwide. They are mostly of a mix-and-match type being made up of parts of used Tadano machines and those of other manufactures and sold as being used Tadano products.
Characteristic of the fake Tadano cranes which have so far been identified are (1) models not corresponding to our existing ones (ex: TL-255E, TG-550E) (2) Attachment of a protuberance likes dials(knobs) on the AML inside the crane cab (No dials are used in our products.) (3) Fitting of a logo mark similar to ours. However, the characteristics of counterfeit Tadano cranes will not be limited to the above only since there remains always a possibility that they may be changed or built anew as the time passes.
As there imitation machines have not met our quality safety standards, there is concern that they may consequently lead to structural defects or operational malfunctions resulting in serious accidents. So, we would advise you never to use such fake cranes for your safety sake too.
Besides, in the event of the occurrence of any defects, malfunctions or accidents arising out of, or in connection with, the use of such counterfeit Tadano products, however, please note that we will take no responsibility in any case for said defects, malfunctions or accidents as well as for any consequences thereof.
For your information, if we find manufacturers of counterfeit Tadano cranes or their distributors, we will take strong action against them including legal sanctions in addition to adopting necessary measures in concert with our industrial group concerned.
Allow us to ask you, once again, to be very careful of such imitation machines when purchasing used Tadano cranes. Should there be any worries or obscure points, please contact our authorized distributor in your place.

In case of the fake parts, AML(inside the crane cab) has dials. But in our genuine parts has no dials.
