Link-Belt RTC-80130 Series II

Link-Belt RTC-80130 Series II
The all-new, RTC-80130 Series II 130-ton (120-mt) rough terrain crane is the biggest RT that Link-Belt has ever produced. The company says that their latching boom technology makes this crane one of the strongest, most easily transported RT’s in the industry. The five-section, 162-foot (49.3-m) formed boom is made of extra-high tensile steel and has one double-acting, single-stage hydraulic cylinder with integrated holding valves. This powerful configuration telescopes loads like a conventional full-power boom. Five boom modes vary the extension of the telescoping sections and provide superior capacities. To eliminate boom grease, wear pads with Teflon inserts self-lubricate the boom sections. The top and bottom pads are also universal, making parts inventories simple. Maximum boom tip height is 171 feet (52.1 m).

One of this crane’s major innovations is the 10-foot (3-m) heavy-lift fly that easily swings and pins into place and is integral to one of the on-board fly options. Alone, it has over 20 tons (18.1 mt) of capacity and lift procedures for two load lines, making it perfect for tilt-up work. With the optional 31- to 55-foot (9.4- to 16.7-m) bi-fold lattice fly, and three 18-foot (5.5-m) lattice extensions, maximum tip height is 278 feet (84.7 m) and is offsetable to 2, 15, 30, and 45 degrees.

The RTC-80130 Series II transports in two loads, with the main load under 94,000 pounds (42 638 kg), including the boom, both winches, three-piece fly and tires. On a trailer, the load height is less than 14 feet (4.3 m) and, without the counterweights and outrigger boxes, it is less than 10 feet (3 m) wide. The crane can be disassembled and ready for transport in one hour with no helper crane.

Not only is this crane easy to transport, it’s easy to maneuver on the job site. A switch in the cab controls the four independent steering modes: two-wheel front, four-wheel rear, six-wheel, and crab.

The crane has a 46-ton (41.7-mt) pick and carry capacity, and is powered by a Cat C9, 325-hp (242.3 kW) engine with 1,095 ft-lb (1,485 Nm) of torque.
