New Tadano ATF 130G-5
for Capital City
Capital City Group, based in
Columbus, OH, took delivery
of a new Tadano ATF 130G-5
all-terrain crane in May. This
is the second Tadano AT for
the company, which has had a
Tadano ATF 2206-5 in its fleet
since May 2012.
Capital City said the new
crane will be used in its taxi
fleet and will be dispatched
to do oil and gas work, bridge
work, industrial applications
and for setting and removing
HVAC units on top of
buildings. The company said
it chose the new AT based
on Tadano’s service model,
crane reliability and the safety
features built into their cranes.
“Tadano incorporates
designs and components
to manufacture a crane
system that is preferred for
its dependability, usability
and ease of maintenance and
repair,” said Ron Dogotch,
vice president/general
manager, Tadano America.
“When a customer does
require service support,
TAC has factory level
support offices in Houston,
TX, Greensboro, NC,
and Edmonton, Alberta –
providing direct to customer
product support by phone
and e-mail and on-site to
minimize down time.”
Tadano’s field service staff
works in key areas throughout
North America enabling them
to quickly drive or fly to crane
locations when necessary, he
said.
“Service and reliability is one
of the main reasons we chose
Tadano,” said Brian Gibson,
president of Capital City
Group. “Being able to use our
own technicians for repairs in
downtime situations with the
support of the manufacturer is
critical for a taxi fleet owner.”

a capacity of 160 tons and a

jib. The ATF 220G-5 has a
capacity to lift 250 tons and
has a 223.1-foot boom and
a 122-foot jib. Both cranes
come standard with the
Tadano Lift Adjuster and the
