Preparations are under way for Link-Belt Construction Equipment’s departure for Bauma 2016; held April 11 - 17 in Munich, Germany. Bauma 2016 marks the 31st edition of the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery. Link-Belt’s RTC-80150 Series II, new 100RT, new TCC-1400 and all-new HTT-86110 will proudly be displayed at booth number F903/3.
RTC-80150 Series II Shows Off RT Features
The 150-ton (135-mt) RTC-80150 Series II rough terrain crane features a six-section, pin and latch boom with a maximum tip height of 311 ft. (94.8 m), that has superior load telescoping capability and only five boom extend modes. Powering the RTC-80150 Series II is the 350 hp (261 kW) Cummins QSL 8.9L with a Tier 3/Stage IIIA engine, and for North American market, a 345 hp (257 kW) Tier 4f/Stage IV engine is also available. Like all 6-wheel rough terrain cranes built by Link-Belt, the RTC-80150 Series II will transport with two overflow loads and assemble in less than an hour without assistance from a helper crane. A new camera package enhances on-board site monitoring and includes a backup camera, a camera located on the right side of the upper frame, one for the main winch as well as one for the auxiliary winch.
100RT with On-Board Fly
The all-new 100-ton (90-mt) 100RT rough terrain crane features a maximum tip height of 261.7 ft. (79.8 m). A three piece bi-fold, on-board fly with an integrated 10 ft. (3.0 m) section is available and has one load, two line lift procedures. Operation of the 100RT is easy with only four boom extend modes and the ability to telescope under load. For both engine versions, Tier 3/Stage IIIA and Tier 4f/Stage IV, under the hood is a 270 hp (201 kW) Cummins QSB 6.7L with unrivaled engine access. A centralized pressure check and grease bank located near the cab allows an operator to monitor multiple pressure and fluid workings. Another unique feature includes LED working lights on all four outrigger beams. Once on deck, routine checks on powertrain components and fluid levels are a snap with largeswing-out doors and LED lighting that reveals the entire electrical compartments.
TCC-1400 Capacity and Reach
The 140-ton (127-mt) TCC-1400 will boast the longest boom length for a telecrawler in this tonnage class. A six-section power, pin and latch boom measures 195.4 ft. (59.5 m) and an on-board three-piece bi-fold lattice fly will give the crane a maximum tip height of 259 ft. (78.9 m). New features found on the TCC-1400 include an electronic inclinometer providing digital readout of list angle and a new auto-idle feature that provides operator selectable ranges for improved fuel economy. The auto-idle feature automatically reduces engine RPMs to idle speeds if no function is used for ten seconds, and resumes preset RPMs once any function is re-engaged by the operator.
The TCC-1400 offers an impressive capacity chart at radius that rivals lattice crawler cranes with a similar base rating. The 1400 comes standard equipped with main boom list capacities up to four degrees.
All-New HTT-86110 Agility and Attachment
Link-Belt will be introducing for the first time, its all-new HTT-86110. The HTT-86110, telescopic truck terrain crane features simple, all-wheel steer capability for optimum crane maneuverability in congested spaces. Steerable rear axles with super single tires are what make the HTT-86110 so agile and with four steering modes—independent front, independent rear, combination, and diagonal, this crane can move in and around jobsites with ease. The HTT-86110 features a 164 ft. (50 m) main boom that outreaches truck crane competition and challenges European-built all terrain cranes in its tonnage class. The HTT-86110’s turning radius is less than 27.25 ft. (8.3 m) from the centerline of the tire; this is comparable or better than similar 4-axle all-terrain cranes. A new efficient and low effort, on board 3 piece fly pinning design is focused on ease of assembly and disassembly.
