Tadano has introduced its new all-electric V320RC and V320R pick and carry cranes. Developed in collaboration with NMG Italia, these 35-tonne machines aim to meet evolving industrial lifting requirements.
Why it matters
This release marks a shift toward electrification in heavy industrial lifting equipment, providing high-capacity options that operate without internal combustion engines. The cranes were developed alongside NMG Italia to directly address specific customer needs for versatility and productivity in complex work environments.
The cranes feature a 35-tonne capacity and a 12-metre boom, powered by a 1,120 Ah battery system. They maintain a compact footprint with an overall width of 2.15 metres and a unit weight of 35 tonnes including a removable counterweight.
The players
Tadano
A global manufacturer of cranes and heavy lifting equipment.
NMG Italia
An industrial equipment company that collaborated on the crane development and conducted field trials.
The details
The V320RC features an integrated recognition system that automatically detects attachments and counterweights, while the V320R offers a cab-less design for specific operational needs. A Ground Pressure Selection System enhances safety by monitoring wheel loadings to ensure operators remain within specified limits.

Roadmap
The launch of these electric cranes signals a broader industry transition toward replacing diesel-powered heavy equipment with battery-driven alternatives. This move positions Tadano to compete directly in the growing market for emissions-free, high-capacity industrial lifting solutions.
Operators can expect improved site efficiency through the electric motor's hydraulic pump integration and standard radio remote control operation. The integrated safety monitoring systems provide immediate alerts to operators, potentially reducing the risk of tipping or structural overload on job sites.
The takeaway
Operators working with these units benefit from reduced local emissions without sacrificing heavy-lifting power. Teams looking to improve productivity should prioritize testing the automated attachment recognition system to streamline setup times on the work site.
