Link-Belt to Debut New All Terrain Crane 

Link-Belt crane

Lexington, Kentucky crane manufacturer Link-Belt will be introducing a new crane platform at the ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023 show next month in Las Vegas. The 300-ton, five-axle, 300 AT crane features a seven-section boom that extends from 46 to 238 feet with a maximum boom tip height of 369 feet. Need more reach? A two-piece 42 to 71 foot hydraulically offset fly is an available option, as well as two lattice extensions that each measure 25 feet. 

Powerful engine, improved transmission

A Cummins X15 diesel engine with 554 horsepower is paired with a ZF Traxon automated manual transmission. According to Link-Belt, the transmission boasts improved shifting performance and includes paddle shift controls plus an integrated intarder braking system for easy stop-and-go at highway speeds. The engine powers upper hydraulic functions with efficiency and includes a 24-volt electrical system with modern CANBUS communications.

The 300 AT meets EPA On-Highway and CARB On-Road standards with its ability to run on alternative diesel hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel.

Versatile counterweight

The crane’s maximum counterweight is 162,000 pounds with four overflow truckloads, and its configuration options allow for 74,000 pounds with two overflow truckloads. The 300 AT can be transported with its upper 8,000-pound counterweight tray in place and remain under 160,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight (23,000 pounds per axle). 

Operator options

This Link-Belt crane features a two-person carrier cab with air-ride seat, 10-inch touch display, LED lighting, blue tooth connectivity, and cellphone charging stations. An automatic climate control system keeps operators comfortable. Large wipers on the operator’s cab help keep the front and top windows clear of moisture and debris.
