What owners say about Tadano

Reviews, questions and photos from people who run the machines

We moderate reviews before they're published, but we don't fact-check them

Reviews are written by equipment owners and operators. Our team looks over each review before it goes live, and anyone can report a review they think breaks the rules.

We don't verify the claims made in reviews, so each one reflects the reviewer's own experience. Some reviews may have been collected from other public sources. Brands can reply to reviews but can't edit or remove them.

Smooth Operation, Quick Learning

We've had our GR-1600XL for about 18 months now. After demoing a few other large RTs, this one stood out for its intuitive controls. Operators picked it up fast, even those new to Tadano.

Solid Value, Easy Maintenance

Last week, we were setting 40-ton precast beams with it, and the stability was impressive. For the price point, this crane offers significant lifting capacity.

Dependable Crane, Zero Headaches

After 18 months and over 1,500 hours on our GR-1300XL-4, it's been rock solid. We've run other 130-ton models, but this Tadano consistently delivers. Minimal downtime, just routine maintenance.

Smooth Transition, Great Reach

Upgrading from our old 90-ton was a big step, but the GR-1300XL-4's Smart Chart tech made the learning curve surprisingly quick. That 183.7 ft boom is a game-changer for our steel erection jobs.
