Tadano recently brought the world’s first battery-electric, rough terrain crane to U.S. and Canadian customers. The new Evolt eGR-1000XLL-1 can lift up to 90.7 tonnes (100 U.S. tons), like the company’s diesel-fueled GR-1000XLL-4, but with no carbon emissions and less noise. The electric crane can perform seven hours of lifting per charge on its lithium-ion batteries, the manufacturer says, or a blend of five hours of lifting and 8.9 kilometres (5.5 miles) of travel.

Tadano first showed a prototype of the fully electric crane at the March 2023 ConExpo-Con/Agg trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. The company says using the commercial version of the Evolt eGR-1000XLL-1 crane can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 22,000 kilograms (48,500 pounds) a year.

Evolt eGR-1000XLL-1 Specifications

The Tadano Evolt eGR-1000XLL-1 is a 2-axle crane with all-wheel steering, four-wheel drive, and a main boom length of 12.8 to 51 metres (42 to 167.3 feet). It supports boom extensions of 10.1 to 17.7 m (33.2 to 58.1 ft) and can reach a maximum radius of 57.9 m (190 ft).

Being fully electric, the Evolt is quiet enough to work at night and in sensitive areas, such as near hospitals. Because it produces no exhaust emissions, the crane can also work indoors.

The electric eGR-1000XLL-1 can rapidly charge in just two to three hours on a US-Combo CCS1 connection or charge normally in 4.5 to 5.5 hours on a 480-volt, 60-amp, 3-phase power source. On the jobsite, the crane can also work continuously while plugged into site power.

The crane has a cruising range of 25.7 km (16 mi, driving only). A regenerative braking system recaptures some battery power as the crane slows down and stops.

Evolt eGR-1000XLL-1 Features

The eGR-1000XLL-1’s Lift Visualizer uses a video feed from a camera looking directly down on the suspended load to give the operator better visibility on rooftops and other blind spots. It also adds radius and capacity data from the AML crane control and monitoring system. The AML system provides onboard diagnostics and safe lifting limits that can easily be adjusted for the situation, among other things.

Tadano’s Evolt app allows the user to check the crane’s battery status, distance to its destination, and operating history. The eGR-1000XLL-1 also supports Tadano’s Hello-Net telematics system, which wirelessly logs data such as the crane’s position and work history. Hello-Net also reminds the user of events on the crane’s maintenance schedule.
