Tadano TG-352

The Tadano TG-352 is a hydraulic truck crane developed to meet mid-range lifting demands with a rated capacity of 35,000 kg at a 3-meter radius using a 10-meter boom. This model incorporates a box-type, four-stage fully powered boom that telescopes from 10 to 31.6 meters. For extended reach, two jib options are available—an 8.7-meter single-stage and a 14.2-meter two-stage offsettable jib—enabling a maximum lifting height of 45.5 meters.

The boom elevates from 0° to 80°, reaching full elevation in just 60 seconds, and telescopes at a speed of 21.6 meters per 120 seconds. The main hoist delivers rope speeds up to 110 m/min (three layers), while the auxiliary hoist reaches 100 m/min (two layers). Hook lifting speeds follow similar performance, with the main reaching 12 m/min (three layers, 9-part line) and the auxiliary up to 100 m/min (two layers, single line). Slewing operates at a steady 2.5 rpm for controlled rotation.

The TG-352’s winches are driven by reversible hydraulic motors with free-fall function, and the boom is actuated by three direct-acting hydraulic cylinders. Boom elevation is handled by two cylinders, and the swing mechanism employs a hydraulic motor with planetary reduction and shockless swing braking.

Mounted on a robust Nissan Diesel K-KG51T (RD8) or Mitsubishi K400 (8DC6) chassis, the TG-352 is powered by a 300 PS diesel engine. It features an 8×4 wheel configuration with air suspension and a registered top speed of 70 km/h. The crane includes full hydraulic outriggers with a maximum extended width of 6.0 meters and mid-span width of 3.6 meters.

Safety features include an electronic moment limiter, boom angle indicators, overwind prevention, load holding valves, emergency boom stop, and hydraulic locking mechanisms for outriggers and boom cylinders. A 510-liter hydraulic oil tank supports long operational runs.

With a transport length of approximately 11.97 meters, width of 2.75 meters, and height of 3.46 meters, the TG-352 remains compact enough for efficient road travel. The overall weight is around 34,100 kg with two-person capacity in the carrier cab.

Overall, the Tadano TG-352 stands as a well-rounded mobile crane option for lifting tasks across urban infrastructure, building construction, and utility maintenance projects.
