During bauma 2025 in Munich, Italian lifting and transport company Autotrasporti Porro confirmed its confidence in Tadano and for two new all-terrain cranes: the powerful AC 7.450-1 and the versatile AC 4.080-1. With this move, the Erba-based company is further expanding its lifting capabilities to serve a broad range of applications – from heavy industry to infrastructure projects.
Marco Cesari, Diego Cesari, and Luca Fumagalli, co-owners of Autotrasporti Porro, are clear about what led to the decision: “We were looking for two cranes that would complement each other perfectly – one for heavy lifting and long reach, and one for jobs where space and mobility matter most. The AC 7.450-1 and AC 4.080-1 give us exactly that combination. Both models stood out at bauma for their capabilities and practical design, and the Tadano team provided excellent support in helping us find the right fit for our needs.”
The seven-axle AC 7.450-1 offers the reach and lifting performance of an eight-axle crane, while maintaining the compact footprint of a six-axle. Its 80-meter main boom, outstanding accessibility, and strong lifting charts with or without the Sideways Superlift system make it a benchmark in its class.
The AC 4.080-1 is designed for maximum versatility in a compact package. With best-in-class jobsite accessibility and the ability to carry up to 9.3 tonnes of counterweight while staying under a 12-tonne axle load limit, it’s ideal for projects with challenging logistics – whether used as a main crane or in a supporting role.
Davide Camperi, Business Leader for Tadano in Italy, welcomed the order: “It’s a real pleasure to support Autotrasporti Porro in expanding their fleet with two of our most advanced cranes. Their decision to go with the AC 7.450-1 and AC 4.080-1 shows a strong commitment to performance and operational flexibility. We truly appreciate the trust they’ve placed in Tadano.”
The new cranes will further enhance Autotrasporti Porro’s ability to respond quickly and efficiently to the lifting needs of clients across northern Italy and beyond.
