TADANO DONATES ALL TERRAIN CRANE TO SUPPORT RECONSTRUCTION AFTER THE TURKEY-SYRIA EARTHQUAKE

On February 6, 2023, a massive earthquake near the border between southern Turkey and Syria killed more than 50,000 people. The devastating consequences of this earthquake have caused great consternation at Tadano. We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to those affected by the disaster and our appreciation to all those who are working hard for recovery and reconstruction.

Tadano Ltd. has decided to donate an ATF 50G-3 all terraincrane to the Turkish government to help in the ongoing recovery and reconstruction efforts in the affected areas of the Turkey-Syria Earthquake. The crane will be delivered through ENKA Pazarlama Ihracat Ithalat A.Ş., a distributor of Tadano products and services based in Istanbul, Turkey.The company will serve as the point of contact for the donation and will provide free transportation within Turkey, commissioning after arrival, and operational training.

The ATF 50G-3 all terrain crane donated is a compact model and is able to manage the kind of rough roads that can be expected in the disaster-stricken area. It is a small, maneuverable type of crane, and we believe that this crane will make a wide contribution to the ongoing restoration and reconstruction of the affected areas.
