Overview
A 130-ton reach machine.
The RTC-80130 Series II takes rough terrain work past the 120-ton mark. Its five-section boom telescopes to 162 ft, and a lattice package of bi-fold fly plus up to three 18 ft extensions builds tip height to a 278 ft maximum. Three axles with computer-controlled hydrostatic drive walk it across ground no truck crane will touch.
Link-Belt Pulse runs the show from the cab: integrated rated capacity limiter, boom length and angle, tip height, and audible-visual warnings on one color display. Up to 43,000 lb of pinned counterweight comes off for transport, and 6×2/6×6 drive with four steering modes, including six-wheel and crab, puts 130 tons into position at up to 17.1 mph.

Why the RTC-80130
Big-crane reach that stays an RT.
162 ft five-section boom
Formed, extra-high-tensile construction: one base and four telescoping sections that extend independently for capacity at length.
Lattice reach package
A 10–31–55 ft bi-fold lattice fly plus one, two, or three 18 ft lattice extensions take tip height from 225 ft to a full 278 ft.
Six-wheel hydrostatic drive
Two variable-speed pumps feed six computer-controlled wheel motors, with 6×2 and 6×6 modes and steering patterns down to crab.
Link-Belt Pulse
The in-house total crane operating system: integrated RCL, boom position, tip height, and audible-visual overload warnings in the cab.
Transport-ready counterweight
Up to 43,000 lb pins to the upper in stages, with optional hydraulic removal, so the machine travels lighter and rigs back fast.
Winches built to reeve
15 in grooved drums with 900 ft of main rope and 25,955 lb of line pull, plus an optional rear winch for two-drum work.

Questions, answered
Link-Belt RTC-80130 Series II FAQ
How much can the Link-Belt RTC-80130 Series II lift?
The RTC-80130 Series II has a maximum rated capacity of 130 US tons (117.9 metric tons) at a 9-foot radius. Capacity tapers with radius and boom length. Refer to the in-cab Crane Rating Manual for the exact chart for your configuration.
What is the maximum tip height of the RTC-80130?
With the bi-fold fly the tip height is 225 ft (68.6 m). Adding one, two, or three 18 ft lattice extensions raises it to 243, 260, or 278 ft (74.1, 79.2, or 84.7 m); the tallest configurations carry a minimum counterweight requirement.
What engine powers the RTC-80130 Series II?
A Cummins QSL9 six-cylinder diesel producing 345 hp (257 kW) at 2,000 rpm in Tier 4 Final / Stage IV configuration, or 350 hp in Tier 3 / Stage IIIA for markets that accept it.
How is the RTC-80130 different from the |RT-series cranes?
It rides on three axles with computer-controlled hydrostatic 6×6 drive instead of a two-axle powershift carrier, and its lattice extension package takes tip height to 278 ft, past any two-axle |RT.
Can I rent or buy a Link-Belt RTC-80130 from HOLT?
