Tadano introduces the first fully electric rough terrain crane in the US and Canada, the EVOLT eGR-1000XLL-1, replacing diesel with lithium-ion batteries for zero emissions and noise reduction. It offers advanced features like Lift Visualizer and AML Control System for safety and efficiency, alongside the EVOLT App for monitoring battery status. Hello-Net telematics provide operational details for better crane management, aligning with Tadano's Green Solutions commitment to reducing CO2 emissions.

The eGR-1000XLL-1 offers up to 7 hours of lifting or up to 5 hours of lifting plus 5.5 mi. of jobsite travel with its on-board battery pack.
Tadano's new EVOLT eGR-1000XLL-1 delivers the same powerful lifting capability as the GR-1000XLL-4 (Tadano's 100-ton rough-terrain stalwart), but in a quieter, zero-emissions package.
The eGR-1000XLL-1 offers up to 7 hours of lifting or up to 5 hours of lifting plus 5.5 mi. of jobsite travel with its on-board battery pack. This new crane has many exciting features that represent how Tadano Green Solutions are lowering CO2 emissions and reducing industrial waste, according to the manufacturer.
Zero-Emission-Operation
The eGR-1000XLL-1 eliminates diesel fuel use, powered entirely by high-performance lithium-ion batteries for both transportation and lifting tasks. CO2 emissions will be reduced by approximately 48,500 lbs. a year.
The crane can be charged using standard 480 VAC grid power or a CCS1 rapid fast charging system, providing versatile and convenient charging options. When using 3-phase 480V normal charging with capacity 60A, it takes 4.5-5.5 hours to fully charge the battery. This model offers rapid charging capabilities — reaching completion in just 2-3 hours with a rapid fast charger — and features regenerative braking to enhance battery longevity.
Plug-in operation provides continuous crane operation, reducing the environmental impact and improving operational efficiency.
Noise Reduction
One of the standout features of the eGR-1000XLL-1 crane is its quiet operation, a notable improvement over traditional diesel-powered cranes. This ultra quiet performance is especially advantageous in urban areas with stringent noise regulations, allowing for night-time operations and indoor projects without disrupting the surrounding environment.
Lift Visualizer
The eGR-1000XLL-1 also offers Lift Visualizer to enhance safety and efficiency. This feature utilizes a suspended load monitoring camera, allowing operators to monitor suspended loads directly from above. Particularly useful in blind spots such as rooftop work, the Lift Visualizer pulls critical lift information from the AML control system and displays it on the video screen, including radius, capacities and load, among others, to improve efficiency and safety for the operator.
EVOLT App
The EVOLT App is an efficient tool for crane owners, as it clearly displays the battery status, operating history and distance to the destination of this Tadano electric rough terrain crane. This detailed information on the travel and history of the crane gives valuable support to the operator.
AML Crane Control Technology
The AML Control System delivers dependable crane control and monitoring solutions, ensuring safe and efficient performance during crane operations. This system incorporates the latest advancements from Tadano rough terrain cranes, featuring an enhanced operator interface, a broad range of functionalities and the renowned reliability and ease of use characteristic of Tadano products. The system facilitates time and cost savings through straightforward on-board diagnostics, improved settings and easily adjustable lifting limits.
Hello-Net Telematics
With Tadano rough terrain cranes, including the eGR-1000XLL-1, you have access to HELLO-NET — a telematics system designed to assist with crane management by providing key operational details including work history, machine position data and maintenance schedules.
For Today. For Tomorrow.
Tadano Green Solutions aim to contribute to a better global environment through its products, services and business activities, and through the behavior of its individual employees. The company set ambitious short-term goals to reduce CO2 and has begun optimizing its infrastructure and supply chain to further reduce its environmental impact.
By changing the designs of its products and improving business processes and operations, it can limit its carbon footprint today — and tomorrow, the company said.
