Overview
Nimble on the road, capable on site.
The 65|RT is the entry point to Link-Belt’s rough terrain line, and the quickest one on the road: a top travel speed of 25 mph gets it between sites faster than any other RT model. Its four-section boom telescopes to 115 ft, and with the bi-fold fly plus two 16 ft lattice extensions it reaches a 211.6 ft tip height.
The 65|RT runs on Link-Belt Pulse, the operating system with an integrated rated capacity limiter and telematics, paired with CALC confined-area outrigger positioning. Four steering modes and 4×2/4×4 drive get it into position; a Cummins QSB6.7 gets it there.

Questions, answered
Link-Belt 65|RT FAQ
How much can the Link-Belt 65|RT lift?
The Link-Belt 65|RT has a maximum rated capacity of 65 US tons (60 metric tons) at a 9-foot radius.
What is the maximum tip height of the 65|RT?
Maximum tip height is 123 ft 9 in (37.7 m) on the main boom in standard extend mode, and up to 211 ft 7 in (64.5 m) with the bi-fold fly plus two 16 ft lattice extensions.
What engine powers the Link-Belt 65|RT?
A Cummins QSB6.7 six-cylinder diesel producing 270 hp (201 kW) in Tier 4 Final configuration, or 260 hp in Tier 3 / Stage IIIA.
How long is the main boom on the 65|RT?
The 65|RT uses a four-section full-power boom that extends from 38 ft to 115 ft (11.6 to 35.0 m), with standard and A-Max extend modes.
What makes the 65|RT different from the rest of the line?
It’s the smallest and fastest crane Link-Belt builds in rough terrain, with a 25 mph top travel speed and a more compact four-section boom. It runs Link-Belt’s Pulse system and CALC outriggers, the earlier-generation technology that several larger |RT models have since upgraded to Pulse 2.0 and V-CALC.
Can I rent or buy a Link-Belt 65|RT from HOLT?
Yes. HOLT Crane & Equipment sells and rents the Link-Belt 65|RT across north, northeast, central, and west Texas, and southern New Mexico, backed by factory-trained service and genuine parts. Call 877-275-1520 for availability.
