Tadano GR and TR: how capacity and lineage hide inside the crane name
On Tadano's rough terrain cranes, the number after the prefix codes the maximum lifting capacity in tonnes — a GR-300XL, for instance, is the 30-tonne class. The 42 models recorded in SpecCodex span 12,341 to 160,000 kg of vehicle weight, reflecting the range from compact machines up to the largest rough terrain cranes rated at up to 160 tonnes.

Two prefixes coexist: "TR" is the older series designation, "GR" the current global line. According to Tadano's own technical spec sheets, numerous TR models were directly renamed into GR models (for example TR-800XXL-4 into a corresponding GR model) — GR is therefore mostly a successor name rather than a parallel one.
Trailing suffixes such as XL, EX or E denote the equipment level and boom configuration. In the SpecCodex database, engine output for the recorded vehicles ranges from 100 to 213 kW, displacement from 3,900 to 12,503 cm³, and torque from 480 to 1,196 Nm — in all 18 fully recorded cases these are 6-cylinder engines.
When buying used, check the condition of the boom slide pads and outrigger cylinders, and compare the load chart against the actual boom length in use — the model number alone says nothing about achievable working radius. Models like TR300E, GR500XL and GR750XL illustrate the spread from older to current technology.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
