Link-Belt unveils 75RT rough terrain crane with new cab, updated operating system

Calling it the “next generation of the rough terrain crane,” Link-Belt has introduced the 75RT, a machine featuring the company’s updated crane operating system, a new cab and a new system that assists operators in confined areas.

Powered by a Cummins Tier 4 Final QSB 6.7-liter engine producing 270 horsepower, the 75RT transports fully loaded with counterweight under 100,000 pounds and under 90,000 pounds without counterweight.

The 75RT features a five-section 38-145-foot boom with two extend modes: EM1 and EM2. A two-piece (35-58 ft.) and three-piece bi-folding fly (10-35-58 ft.) are both available for a tip height of 208.7 feet. The crane’s matching main and auxiliary winches offer 18,603 pounds of maximum line pull and a maximum winch speed of 485 feet per minute.

The crane’s standout features center around technology and operator comfort.

The RT75 runs Pulse 2.0, the new generation of Link-Belt’s crane operating system. Featuring programmable features, a WiFi hub and a new, larger 10-inch display, Pulse 2.0 also allows the crane’s software to be updated and serviced remotely.

The crane is also Link-Belt’s first to feature V-CALC or Variable Confined Area Lifting Capabilities. Here’s Link-Belt’s explanation of V-CALC:
