Tadano GR160N-1

The GR-160N-1 is a high-performance compact crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 16 tons at a 3-meter radius with its shortest boom (6.5 meters). The 6-section boom extends from 6.5 to 27.5 meters, with an additional jib of 3.8 meters, bringing the total lifting height to 32.0 meters. The boom elevates from -9° to 82.5° in just 34 seconds.

This crane offers versatile lifting configurations, including a 3.2-ton single top hook and a 2-ton capacity on the jib. The hoisting winches reach speeds of up to 110 m/min (main) and 96 m/min (auxiliary), with fast rope lowering options for efficient work cycles. Slewing is continuous 360° with a maximum rotation speed of 2.6 rpm.

Under the hood, it is powered by a Cummins QSB5.9-2A diesel engine, delivering 218 PS (160 kW) at 2,300 rpm with 847 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm. The power is transferred through a power shift transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gears, and a selectable 4×2/4×4 drive mode. Maximum road speed is 49 km/h, with a gradeability of 0.6 tan (approx. 31°).

The GR-160N-1 offers multiple outrigger options (X-type or H-type) with extension widths from 1.79 m to 5.2 m, and various intermediate positions, adapting to the job site layout. Its compact dimensions—8,230 mm in length and 2,200 mm in width—make it highly maneuverable, with a turning radius as tight as 4.8 meters using 4-wheel steering.

Safety systems include AML (Automatic Moment Limiter), hydraulic locks, anti-two block, swing lock, and slew/free-lock control. Additional operator aids include air conditioning, automatic brake systems, view monitors, and drum rotation indicators.

With a vehicle weight of around 19.7 tons, the GR-160N-1 balances power and agility, making it a smart choice for lifting operations in urban infrastructure, utilities, and industrial maintenance.
