Tadano Mantis 20010

The Tadano Mantis 20010 is a heavy-duty telescopic crawler crane rated at 100 tons (90 metric tons) capacity at a 10 ft (3.0 m) radius. Its 4-section synchronized hydraulic boom extends from 42 ft to 128 ft (12.8 – 39 m), using a dual-cylinder extension system with retraction cables and load-holding valves. Optional extensions include a 35 ft swing-away boom extension and a 25 ft jib, pushing the max lifting height to 191 ft 6 in (58.4 m).

The 20010 is equipped with a Cummins QSM11 diesel engine delivering 350 hp (261 kW) at 2100 rpm. Hydraulic power is supplied by two high-pressure variable axial piston pumps with a combined output of 210 GPM and operating at 4,800 psi (330 bar). The travel system includes two-speed hydrostatic drives with pivot turn and counter-rotation capabilities, offering speeds of 0.7 km/h (low) and 2.0 km/h (high) and an impressive 60% gradeability.

Main and auxiliary winches are high-performance, 2-speed, planetary gear types. The main winch has a line pull of 24,000 lbs (106.8 kN) and speed of 304 ft/min (92.7 m/min), while the auxiliary winch achieves 405 ft/min (123.4 m/min) with a pull of 18,710 lbs (83.2 kN). Rope capacity is 1,000 ft and 600 ft for the main and auxiliary winches, respectively.

For jobsite adaptability, the crane’s crawler frames hydraulically retract and extend, ranging from 3.94 m (12 ft 11 in) to 6.43 m (21 ft 1 in). With 36-inch wide track shoes and a total weight of 202,300 lbs (91,762 kg), ground pressure remains low at 11.4 psi, making it suitable for soft or uneven terrain.

The fully enclosed operator’s cab includes air conditioning, a 20° tilting function, six-way adjustable seat, and rear-view cameras. The Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL) provides real-time load moment feedback, boom position, and anti-two block warnings on an LCD screen. Safety is enhanced with redundant braking systems, house lock, and emergency shut-off features.

Optional features include auger-ready packages, tool circuits, free-fall winches, cold-weather kits, and a two-person work platform. The Mantis 20010’s ability to pick-and-carry loads through 360° and operate with tracks retracted or extended makes it ideal for confined job sites and challenging ground conditions.

Built for versatility, strength, and operator convenience, the Tadano Mantis 20010 is a reliable workhorse across industries like power line construction, foundation piling, oil & gas, and industrial maintenance.
