Tadano GT-800EX-1 Truck Crane Operator Manual

The GT-800EX-1 is a Tadano truck crane. It drives to site on its own carrier, sets up on outriggers and does the lifting once it's level and stable. A new or relief operator taking over this crane is the person who most needs the manual in the cab, so the controls, setup sequence and rules are in front of them before the first lift.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments, including what the warning lights are telling you.
• Follow the setup sequence for setting up on outriggers before any boom work starts.
• Read the load charts and load moment limiter instructions to plan each lift.
• Operate hoisting and slewing with the boom and jib as the manual describes.
• Check the crane through the daily inspection and lubrication routine, and prepare for travel at the end of the job.

Who this is for

A crane operator or relief operator uses this manual to learn the layout and work through setup and lifting the way the manufacturer intends. An operator trainer can use it as the reference for walking a new person through the machine, from the safety rules to the daily checks.
