Tadano will showcase its lineup of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) at Bauma 2025, following the acquisition of Nagano Industry Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of aerial work platforms, in 2024.
Robbert Kreber, Sales Leader for Tadano Utility Products in Europe, said the company’s expansion in MEWPs represents a natural progression in its journey to become the global leader in the lifting industry.
“By incorporating these highly regarded machines into our portfolio, we’re maintaining our 100 per cent focus on lifting equipment while meeting the growing worldwide demand for versatile mobile elevating work platforms,” Kreber said.
At Bauma 2025, Tadano will highlight the available crawler boom lift range. This marks the introduction of the first complete range of boom lifts offered to the market with a traditional crawler chassis. The lineup will feature both articulated and telescopic boom models.
Articulated Boom Series
Tadano articulated, or AA, models deliver precise positioning capability, the ability to lift operators straight up along walls or structures, and maneuverability in confined areas. Both compact models in the series feature platforms that measure 0.92 x 0.73 x 1.1 metre (m) with 150-kilogram (kg) capacity, as well as a reduced-tail swing design, 360-degree continuous rotation, and a five-degree allowable tilt.
AA-9MC: The diesel-powered model delivers 8.8m working height and maximum horizontal outreach of 4.5m at an up-and-over height of almost 4m, ideal for careful positioning in tight spaces. Weighing 2,620kg, the unit features 230 milimetres (mm) grey non-marking rubber tracks, offering extremely low maximum ground bearing pressure at 7,584 kilopascal (kPa). This makes the AA-9MC well suited for sensitive indoor and outdoor applications.
eAA-9MC: The electric version features high-capacity maintenance-free AGM batteries and a three-phase AC motor delivering five kilowatt (kW) of rated power, with battery life that allows it to operate for three days on a single charge based on standard usage. Weighing 2,740kg, the model provides the same level of crawler performance as its diesel counterpart, making it ideal for indoor, underground, and urban construction applications where noise and emissions are concerns.
Telescopic boom series
Tadano telescopic, or AS, models offer stability and extended horizontal reach for accessing hard-to-reach areas. They can be used in challenging terrains, including mud and sand, with a maximum five-degree tilt capability.
AS-12MC: The unit features 300mm grey non-marking rubber tracks with an 11.7m working height and a 7.9m maximum horizontal outreach, providing 15,168 kPa maximum ground pressure. Powered by a 14.4 kW Kubota D1105 engine, the model, which weighs 5,970 kg, can handle loads up to 200 kg and offers three travel speeds of up to 2.4 kilometre per hour (km/h) for efficient site navigation.
AS-15MC-1: This dual-capacity model (450/250kg) has a working height of 14.7m with a maximum horizontal outreach of 11.2m. It weighs 9,060kg and features 400mm steel tracks with grey non-marking pads that allow for 144,79 kPa maximum ground pressure. Powered by a 17.5 kW Kubota D1305 engine, the unit can travel up to up to 2.7 km/h with three speed settings.
AS-15MCJ: The jibbed design of this model offers additional maneuverability for confined spaces and a platform capacity of 250kg. Weighing 9,610kg, it provides maximum ground pressure of 11,721 kilopascal.
AS-20MC: Offering dual lifting capacities of 450/250 kg, the unit has a 19.7m working height with 15.4m maximum horizontal outreach. Featuring 500mm steel tracks with grey non-marking pads, it weighs 11,550 kg and provides 132,04 kPa maximum ground pressure. Its three-speed range can travel up to 3.3 km/h, powered by a 23.9 kW Kubota D1803 engine.
New product launch
AS-23MC and AS-23MJ (4WD): Making their debut at Bauma 2025, these two dual-capacity telescopic models achieve a 22.9m working height.
