About Tadano Faun

Tadano Faun is a German manufacturer of mobile cranes sold in the Tadano Faun All-Terrain Cranes, Truck-Mounted Cranes, and telescopic boom-equipped Crawler Cranes lineups. Tadano Faun was founded as Faun in the early 1900s. In 1990, it became a subsidiary of Japanese corporation Tadano Group, which went on to acquire Demag’s mobile crane business from Terex in 2019. Demag cranes include all-terrain, city, and lattice boom crawler crane models produced at the Tadano Demag manufacturing plant in Germany. Following the Demag acquisition, Tadano restructured its Tadano Faun and Tadano Demag brands and their associated manufacturing facilities in an effort to improve overall efficiency and develop new products.

Faun Through The Years

The manufacturer’s origins stretch back to 1845, when Justus Christian Braun founded a bronze casting company in Germany that would eventually introduce a horse-drawn firefighting vehicle in 1868, among other products. A 1918 merger with Fahrzeugfabriken Ansbach AG created Fahrzeugfabriken Ansbach und Nürnberg, or “Faun” for short. Faun’s development and production of all-terrain cranes took off in the mid-1980s as it combined aspects of rough-terrain and truck-mounted cranes. By the 1990s, the company had begun developing new all-terrain cranes with lift capacities as high as 360 tons (326 metric tons). Before the decade’s end, Faun introduced the ATF 60-4 all-terrain taxi crane, and in the early 2000s it debuted the Faun steering system.

Tadano, meanwhile, was founded in 1948, and takes credit for introducing Japan’s first hydraulic truck crane. Following its 1990 acquisition of Faun, Tadano relocated Tadano Faun’s spare parts storage facility and created a new test facility. More recently, it expanded sales of All-Terrain Cranes models into the UK and Ireland following the acquisition of Cranes UK, which in turn became Tadano UK.
