Wind power increasingly plays a key role in renewable, \u201csmart\u201d energy for the future. Tadano\u2019s lifting technology can play a key role in allowing for the construction and maintenance of wind turbines.

Opportunities to advance both roles converged at the Wind Energy Expo, part of World Smart Energy Week held at Tokyo\u2019s Big Sight Aomi Exhibition Hall September 29th through October 1st, 2021. Over three days, the Wind Expo convened wind power experts and engineers from across Japan, including many representatives of the Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA).

Tadano has not traditionally been involved in the business sector of wind power generation. However, the recent acquisition of Demag has allowed the company to offer more products for customers in this rapidly growing sector.

Tadano opened an exhibition booth at Wind Expo to showcase these products, reach customers, and create connections. Company representatives met with numerous attendees at their exhibition booth, including members of crane rental companies, general contractors, wind turbine manufacturers, wind power generation companies, even national and local government officials.

The Expo served as an excellent opportunity to establish relationships and ensure attendees properly understood how Tadano’s products work for the construction and maintenance of wind power generation. This includes construction and ongoing maintenance of both onshore and offshore wind turbines at any height \u2013 both in Japan and overseas.

For example, crawler cranes are useful at base ports to help meet the increased demands and planning for offshore wind power. Akita, Noshiro, Choshi, and Kitakyushu carry current designations as base ports for offshore wind power, with the expectation for additional designations to help achieve carbon-neutral targets as set by the government.

As goals for domestic procurement of wind power parts increases \u2013 along with increasing size of equipment \u2013 Tadano offers the larger cranes domestic factories need to manufacture heavy objects such as monopile foundations.

Tadano introduced and provided detailed information on numerous products at the Expo, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
