Tadano Mantis's new GTC‐1200, a 130 ton (120 metric ton) telescopic boom crawler crane, was named as the 2014 Leadership in Lifting Equipment and Aerial Platforms (LLEAP) Award winner in the crane category. LLEAP is an award from Lift and Access Magazine that recognizes products,components, and accessories that are innovative or have advanced the state of the lifting and access industry.
The GTC‐1200 is the first new product to be introduced by Tadano Mantis since it joined the Tadano Group in 2008. It's design was conceived and executed by the Tadano Mantis Engineering Team, with joint boom development carried out with Tadano, Ltd. (Japan), and a jib system from Tadano Faun (Germany) incorporated to help create the highest capacity American manufactured telescopic boom crawler crane in the market. This model's long, round, full power boom yields high performance for pick and carry, out of level, and foundation tool operations.
