LEADING IN ITS CLASS
The TG-5O0E truck-mounted crane incorporates advanced technology and Tadano's
extensive on-the-job know-how to outperform any crane in its class. Both strong and flexible,
the TG-5O0E is tough enough for big jobs, while versatile enough to handle jobs in constricted
and irregularly shaped work areas. This power crane features a stronger hexagonal boom,
designed for maximum flexural and torsional rigidity and a wider elevation range for close-
in lifting. The unit also incorporates a unique feedback system, which provides the operator
with information on lifting capacity, load radius, and other operational data for markedly
improved operating efficiency.Excellent Performance

Automatic Moment Limiter (AML)
Precise and safe operation is ensured by an automatic motion curing
device (AML-LC), which prevents overloading. Information on sight
separate functions is continuously displayed on the monitor: total mo-
mens, boom angle, actual boom length, actual load radius, extension jib
angle, actual hook load, maximum potential losd and boom position
