The Myshak Group, a trusted name in Alberta’s crane service sector for over two decades, has made a significant addition to their fleet. They’ve acquired Canada’s first GT-1200XL-2 Truck Crane, featuring a 5-section 167.3-foot main boom, a 33.1-58.1-foot bi-fold jib, and a top speed of 105 km/h. This machine will be operated by Myshak Crane & Rigging (MCR), who played a pivotal role in its development.
According to the Myshak Group, “We are thrilled to have Tadano back in the Canadian truck crane market. The GT-1200XL-2 fits into a great space in our fleet, and we believe our customers will see this product as an ideal taxi crane. Tadano is known for well-designed and high-performance cranes, and we are excited to put this truck crane to work.”
Tadano America Regional Business Manager, Justin Andrews, shares the excitement, stating, “We are very excited that the first GT-1200XL-2 in Canada will go to Myshak. The GT-1200XL-2 is an outstanding machine, and it will be the perfect taxi crane for Myshak’s customer base.”
Designed for easy permitting for transport in both Canada and the US, the new Tadano truck cranes feature low axle weights, a narrow transport width, and long boom designs. The GT-1200XL-2 promises superior utilization, return on investment, and a lower cost of ownership, thanks to its reliance on field-proven, reliable components from the GR Series rough terrain cranes.
Tadano America Vice President of Sales, Ken Butz, expressed his satisfaction with Myshak’s choice, highlighting their strong and successful partnership. He said, “Both Myshak and Tadano are dedicated to exceeding customer expectations by offering the best quality and service in the crane industry, and the addition of the new model GT-1200XL-2 truck crane will play a key role in helping both of our companies achieve that goal.”
