Tadano has released the AC 3.060-2, a 3-axle all-terrain crane featuring a 50-meter main boom and a 3.71-meter clearance height. The unit is engineered to handle multiple daily jobs by prioritizing mobility and operational efficiency.
Why it matters
By incorporating the IC-1 Plus system, the crane allows contractors to optimize lifting capacity based on specific outrigger configurations. This flexibility supports efficient operation for users managing several jobsites throughout a single day.
The AC 3.060-2 offers a 50-meter main boom and a clearance height of 3.71 meters. It features a single-line pull of 6.7 tonnes and is capable of operating within a 12-tonne axle load limit.
The players
Tadano
Tadano is a global manufacturer of cranes and aerial work platforms that produces a wide range of lifting equipment for construction and industrial projects.
The details
The crane utilizes a 6 x 6 x 6 drivetrain to navigate diverse terrain and confined urban environments. It is currently available for order in the Americas and Australia, with Tadano also expanding domestic production of its 2- and 3-axle models in Japan.
Timeline
First deliveries of the crane are expected to begin later in 2026.
Deliveries for the European market are scheduled to start in 2027.
Roadmap
This release reflects the broader industry shift toward mobile, multi-use lifting solutions that allow contractors to maximize utility across varied sites. Tadano continues to refine its 3-axle portfolio as it competes to provide versatile machinery capable of operating under strict road weight regulations.
Contractors can expect improved jobsite access due to the crane's compact 3.71-meter clearance height and flexible drivetrain configurations. The ability to meet 12-tonne axle load limits simplifies transportation requirements, potentially reducing logistical hurdles between project locations.
The takeaway
The AC 3.060-2 represents a focused effort to optimize daily work cycles by balancing lifting power with transit mobility. Operators should evaluate their local road weight requirements against the crane's 12-tonne axle load capability to ensure compliance and efficiency in regional markets.
What happens next
Tadano is scheduled to initiate the first deliveries of the new crane model in 2026, followed by a launch in the European market in 2027.
