The biggest RT Link-Belt has ever produced, this new crane combines the enormously successful attributes of the RTC-80100 Series II, 100-ton (90.7-mt) RT with Link-Belt’s latching boom technology to create one of the strongest, most easily transported RT’s in the industry.Unbeatable: Link-Belt’s 138 HSL
At ConExpo in Las Vegas, Link-Belt displayed the 80-ton (72.6-mt) 138 HSL lattice boom crawler crane. This crane has set a new benchmark in the 80-ton (72.6-mt) crawler crane class.
