The Tadano ATF 400G-6 features a five-section boom that extends from 49.2 to 196.8 ft under partial load. With the luffing jib, the maximum tip height is approximately 400 ft.

The chassis is powered by a Tier 4i-compliant, eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz OM 502 LA diesel engine with BlueTec, generating 653 hp. According to Tadano, it is the first crane manufacturer to use Mercedes-Benz BlueTec emissions reduction technology across its range as standard.

The 12x8x12 all-wheel steering uses the ZF-Servocom steering system. On the highway, rear-axle steering is speed-dependent. The first and second axles are permanently steered, while axles four and five lock in the straight-ahead position when a speed of 18.6 mph is reached. Axles three and six lock at 31.1 mph.

Key to this crane is the strength of the boom. Highlights of the load chart are the maximum 304, 235 lbs. of counterweight and its ability to lift 83, 800 lbs. out to a 46-ft. radius with the boom fully extended. The 196.8-ft. main boom achieves higher capacity than comparable cranes and can lift weights without a guy wire. It can be additionally equipped with the “power system” to further increase the lifting capacity.

The crane is powered by a six-cylinder, 265-hp Mercedes-Benz OM 926 LA engine.
