Tadano TR-150XL-4

The Tadano TR-150XL-5, a compact and versatile rough terrain crane, delivers a lifting capacity of 15 U.S. tons (13.6 metric tons). This model is outfitted with a six-section full power synchronized telescoping boom, constructed with a hexagonal box profile. The boom spans from 17.4 feet to 78 feet (5.3 to 23.8 meters), telescoping via double-acting hydraulic cylinders aided by extension and retraction cables, delivering a smooth extension speed of 60.6 feet in just 52 seconds.

For extended reach, a two-stage swingaround jib offers lengths of 11.8 feet or 18 feet (3.6 or 5.5 meters) with selectable offsets of 5°, 25°, and 45°. Additionally, a single top auxiliary sheave is available for single-line lifting tasks up to 8,500 lbs (3,860 kg).

The crane’s hoisting operations are powered by hydraulic axial piston motors operating independently for main and auxiliary winches. The main hoist accommodates 433 feet of 7/16″ (11.2 mm) wire rope with a maximum permissible line pull of 7,600 lbs (3,460 kg) and a peak speed of 406 feet per minute (124 m/min). Swing operations are driven through a planetary swing speed reducer and provide continuous 360° rotation with a maximum speed of 2.4 rpm.

Powered by a Cummins QSB3.9-30TAA turbocharged diesel engine, the TR-150XL-5 delivers 135 HP (101 kW) at 2,300 rpm and 354 ft-lbs (49 kgm) of torque at 1,500 rpm. The engine supports both crane and carrier systems, with a 24-volt electrical system and air-operated brakes. Transmission is a full automatic powershift type, offering 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds through electronically controlled torque converter driving.

The crane features a full-time 4×4 drive and steer configuration with multiple steering modes (2-wheel front, 2-wheel rear, 4-wheel coordinated, and 4-wheel crab), and boasts a top travel speed of 30.4 mph (49 km/h). Suspension includes semi-elliptic leaf springs with hydraulic lockout for stable and comfortable ride over rough terrain.

Outriggers are fully hydraulic, beam-and-jack style, with integral holding valves and self-storing pads. They extend to a maximum of 15’5″ (4.7 m) and offer multiple intermediate positions to suit tight job site configurations.

Safety systems include Tadano’s AML-L load moment indicator, anti-two block, automatic speed reduction, and soft stop functions. The cab is ergonomically designed with air conditioning, heater, power windows, and full instrumentation. Optional equipment includes auxiliary winch kits, single top, and jibs with rated hook blocks for 15-ton and 2-ton applications. This compact yet powerful crane is built to perform reliably in confined and rugged environments.
