Las Vegas stand marks the point where Manitex products become Tadano products
Tadano arrives at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 with a North American line-up that no longer stops at cranes, and with the Manitex brand folded into its own. Two crane debuts anchor the display at booth F47010.
New iron on the stand
The headline crane at Tadano’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 display is the 60-US ton GTC-600-2 telescopic boom crawler, the newest member of the GTC series and the replacement for the 55-ton GTC-550. It carries a 113.8 ft full-power boom, a 28.9 ft extension and a 49.9 ft jib, OPTI-WIDTH track positioning, and lifting capacities at up to 4 degrees out of level with full pick-and-carry. Tadano describes it as the only 60-US ton telescopic boom crawler that moves on a single truck.
Making its North American show debut alongside it is the five-axle AC 5.250L-2 all-terrain crane, with a 259.2 ft side-pinning main boom and a maximum main boom extension of 98.4 ft. The exhibited machine carries the new bi-fold jib at 32.8/62.3 ft plus a 3.6 ft adapter. Tadano makes a point of the crane’s road-legal axle loads, including under Californian limits.
The rest of the crane display covers the rough terrain eGR-1000XLL-1 and GR-1600XL, the GT-1200XL-2 truck crane, the CC 24.400-1 lattice boom crawler and the AC 6.300-1 all-terrain.
OneTadano: the Manitex name goes
The commercial news at the show is brand consolidation. US-produced Manitex products are now sold under the Tadano name as part of the OneTadano strategy, completing in North America an exercise already carried out in other regions. Boom trucks, knuckle boom cranes and aerial work platforms will all appear under a single badge.
“Integrating the Manitex business into the Tadano group was never a short-term initiative — it has been part of a deliberate, strategy. In the US our first priority was the full integration of the Manitex factory into the Tadano organization. We aligned processes and quality standards, and we executed that integration flawlessly.”
— Dean Barley, president and CEO, Tadano America
Parts and technicians
Behind the machines, Tadano is pitching support. In the US it has added warehouse capacity, revised logistics and lifted inventory levels to improve spare-parts fill rates, while a new centralised European parts centre is intended to speed air-freight shipments worldwide, including to North American customers. A reworked Master Tech training programme cuts class sizes and adds hands-on time.
A separate themed area covers digital tools, telematics and the heyTadano AI assistant, alongside a future crane concept from Tadano’s Advanced Technology Research Center. Fully electric machines on the stand include the eGR-1000XLL-1 rough terrain crane and the 25EL pick-and-carry crane from the Valla series.
