TADANO History

Aftermarket – Filtration Solution

1919-1954 Foundation
“We want to deliver something that will contribute to the world.” The foundation in 1919, when the founder of Tadano left Takamatsu for, Hokkaido, is the start of Tadano Ltd. However, there were various challenges and trials and errors until we made the start as a crane manufacturer.
1955 – 1988 Development of Cranes
Since its founding, Tadano Iron Works Co., Ltd. has honed its technology through various challenges and trials and errors. We started our journey as a crane manufacturer that can be called ‘The history of the crane is Tadano’s history’ after introducing Japan’s first hydraulic truck crane.
1989 – 2007 Change of Corporate Name
10 Years of Drastic Changes. Tadano Iron Works Co., Ltd. changed corporate name to Tadano Ltd. when the bubble economy was booming in Japan. The eras we experienced both glory and drastic changes can be called a big turning point as a new company.
2008 – Present: Return to Our Roots:
Second Foundation Moving Forward to Become No.1 Worldwide in the Lifting Equipment Industry.
