Tadano has unveiled an extendable wheelbase system for its RX series Pick & Carry cranes, designed to enhance load capacity and operational versatility on confined jobsites. The variable wheelbase allows operators to adjust the crane's footprint depending on lift requirements and site conditions, potentially increasing stability during lifts without permanently enlarging the machine's transport dimensions. The development targets contractors working in urban environments where compact dimensions for transport and manoeuvring must be balanced against lifting performance. Tadano has not yet released technical specifications regarding wheelbase extension range or resulting load chart improvements for specific RX models.
