Selected Lifting Equipment and Components
Tadano AL-97
The Tadano AL-97 offers rental companies, arborists, and landscape contractors a compact, highly maneuverable tracked lift designed for work in restricted-access areas. Combining a narrow transport profile( 21 feet, 3 inches long, 2 feet, 11 inches wide, and 6 feet, 6 inches high) with a minimum total weight of 11,023 pounds, it easily navigates narrow entrances, fences, and tight property line boundaries while delivering stability on challenging terrain.
Engineered to deliver reach without sacrificing flexibility, the AL-97 features a 97-foot working height and a maximum platform capacity of 617 pounds. Depending on the setup, it provides up to 54 feet of horizontal outreach at a 265-pound capacity, or roughly 44 feet of outreach at full capacity. This allows up to two operators and their equipment in the basket.
For navigating elevated obstacles such as roofs or dense foliage, the boom offers an up-and-over height of 44 feet, 3 inches alongside a jib with 180 degrees of movement. Variable outrigger arrangements allow operators to tailor setup configurations to specific site limits, though reach and capacity always remain subject to the selected load and outrigger working diagram.
Built with safety and efficiency in mind, the AL-97 features internal hose routing, an advanced 7-inch turret color display with automated functions, and intelligent load management with no side-block restrictions. Backed by a full two-year warranty, standard ease-of-service design, and strong manufacturer support, this compact tracked lift can be an asset across urban, industrial, and rental fleet applications.
