signaled the entire lift. NCCCO certified
rigger Scott Mak oversaw the rigging for
the lift.
“This product has been really solid so
far,” said Justin Steiner, sales manager with
Barcelona Equipment. “It’s a really versatile
crane for its size. It’s easy to move. It’s user
friendly. Our operator is comfortable.”
“It’s our first Tadano ever bought and it’s
the perfect size for a big crane,” said Bob
The team worked
for two days on
cooling towers and
then used a third
day to remove a
steel frame that
weighed 13,500
pounds.
The transportation of this crane and the
flexibility of the different load charts
makes it very easy to rent as anything
from a 200-ton up to its full capacity of
450-tons just by shipping less loads of
counterweights. This allows for excellent
utilization of the crane and allows
Barcelona to compete in the 450-ton
hydraulic crane market.”
Swan said the ATF400G-6 also gives
Barcelona an additional crane in the 200-
ton market by simply down renting.

“We can’t wait to see it on other jobs.”
Jack Swan was the Tadano dealer in
the transaction. “Barcelona purchased
the new Tadano ATF400G-6 because
they were constantly over booked with
their 225-ton and wanted a larger crane,”
said Swan, president of Exact Crane &
Equipment, based on Solon, OH. “This
450-ton Tadano is very mobile and can
be used with less counterweights and
rented as a smaller crane very easily.
The new ATF
400G-6 is
Barcelona
Crane’s first
Tadano crane.
