Scott Powerline Adds
New GTC-1200 to Fleet
S
cott Powerline and Utility Equipment, one of the old-
est and largest Mantis crane dealers in the world, will
add the newly developed GTC-1200 130-ton rated tele-
boom crawler crane to its already sizeable Mantis rental fleet.
The concept behind the development of the GTC-1200 was
to design and build a telescopic boom crawler crane that met
the requirements of the growing TADANO MANTIS core mar-
kets of power transmission, bridge and civil, and foundation
construction while expanding the broader appeal of the crane
toward lift crane-based markets. The GTC-1200 is the first
totally new crane from TADANO MANTIS Corporation since
it was acquired by TADANO, LTD in December 2008. The
result represents a step forward in design for TADANO MAN-
TIS—full power, round boom with two extension modes,
HELLO-NET telematics, the TADANO AML-C load moment
system, and integration of hydraulic cylinders, winches, and
jib systems from the other TADANO Group companies. The
GTC-1200 is powered by a Cummins Tier 4f, QSL9 diesel
engine rated 350 horsepower at 2,100 rpm.
The load-sensing, power-controlled hydraulic system opti-
mizes the hydraulic output to the diesel engine power output
for highly efficient operation and control. The swing system
is controlled by a separate closed loop hydrostatic transmis-
sion for superior swing performance. The travel system
features two-speed track drives with maximum
speeds of 1.6 mph and a maximum unladen
gradability of 52 percent.
The new GTC-1200 is expected to
join the Scott Powerline fleet in
November and will be available
for rental, RPO, or sale.
