The Link-Belt RTC-8080 is an 80-ton rough-terrain crane that sports a 41-ft to 127-ft-long, four-section factory-formed boom. Able to operate under full power, the telescopic boom slides on Teflon wear pucks that require no greasing. The crane is available with three onboard lattice-fly jibs, with up to 64 ft of additional reach. Some of the jibs allow for multipart reeving. Maximum tip height is 199 ft. A 6.7-liter, 270-hp Cummins diesel compliant with Tier 4 Interim emissions provides power, while a standard multi-link suspension keeps the ride smooth.
