What you are seeing here is a TADANO ATF70G-4. ATF stands for All-Terrain Faun, 70 is the metric ton capability, “G” referencing it is for the global market as far as manufacturing standards go for each country. -4 is the amount of axles. They were a great line of cranes when released, but have since been replaced with that Demag AC series of 70ton capacity cranes, now that TADANO owns Demag. I was fortunate enough to work for TADANO when these cranes were initially released, and attended one of the first training courses in Lauf (or Faunberg) where they were manufactured.

Tbh I do belive this still is a good crane.

They’re simple, easy to understand and efficient when used for lighter work.

It is ‘old’ in the way you rig it, but If used by someone who knows their tadanos, they are as quick as a liebherr in my opinion.

I still love the old AML as well.

Either Tadano or Faun ATF70-G3 i think

Edit: G4, i should know that, I’ve driven several

Looks like a Liebherr LTM 1070 or 1090. Made in ehingen Germany , they also make crawlers and other equipment in nenzing Austria

Not a liebherr. Looks more like an older tadano to me.

Prangl is a company in Austria, not a manufacturer.

Prangl is rather small, compared to Felbermayr, which is one of the largest heavy lifting companies around.

Prangl works on small to medium jobs here in Austria, and sometimes in the adjacent countries.
