30-Second Takeaway
Tadano will showcase its widest exhibition lineup ever at Vertikal Days 2025, marking the first UK trade fair appearance following the integration of Manitex and Nagano product lines. Alongside Tadano cranes, visitors will see aerial work platforms, articulating cranes, pick & carry cranes, and telescopic crawler booms all unified under the Tadano brand.
Expanded Portfolio Marks Major Milestone
Tadano has been a long-standing exhibitor at Vertikal Days, but 2025 marks a turning point. For the first time since acquiring Manitex Group and Nagano, Tadano is presenting a fully integrated product range that extends well beyond traditional cranes.
The expanded lineup reflects Tadano’s accelerated brand integration strategy and its ambition to become the global number one lifting equipment manufacturer.
“With this trade fair appearance, we demonstrate that the integration of the new product lines into the Tadano portfolio is progressing rapidly,” said Lloyd Gee-Nyland, Managing Director UK & Ireland at Tadano.
“We are now offering our customers a broader range of products than ever before all under the Tadano brand.”
What Visitors Will See at Vertikal Days
At Vertikal Days on September 10–11 at Newark Showground, Tadano will occupy Stand 122, featuring a cross-section of lifting and access equipment from across its expanded portfolio.
Key exhibits include:
Tadano GR-1000EX-4 rough terrain crane
Tadano Valla series pick & carry cranes
Tadano Oil & Steel series crawler boom lifts
Tadano PM series articulating cranes
Telescopic crawler boom lift from Japan
This marks the first time Tadano customers can view all these product categories together at a single UK event.
Flagship Crane: GR-1000EX-4
Headlining the stand is the Tadano GR-1000EX-4, one of the company’s flagship rough terrain cranes. Known for its balance of 100-ton lifting capacity, compact footprint, and advanced safety systems, the GR-1000EX-4 represents Tadano’s core crane expertise within the broader portfolio.
The crane remains a benchmark for:
Heavy industrial lifting
Infrastructure and energy projects
Demanding rental applications
Beyond Cranes: A Unified Lifting Ecosystem
The inclusion of aerial platforms, pick & carry cranes, and articulating loader cranes demonstrates Tadano’s evolution into a full-spectrum lifting and access provider.
By integrating Manitex, Nagano, Valla, PM, and Oil & Steel technologies under one brand,
Tadano is simplifying:
Fleet management
Training and service support
Product compatibility for customers
“We are already looking forward to presenting this broad portfolio to our customers and explaining it in detail,” Gee-Nyland added.
