Overview
The biggest RT Link-Belt builds.
The RTC-80160 Series II is the flagship of the rough terrain line: 160 tons of capacity on a greaseless six-section boom that telescopes to 195.3 ft. Stack the bi-fold fly and three 18 ft lattice extensions and the hook tops out at a 311 ft tip height, tower reach on six wheels.
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 59,000 lb of pinned counterweight backs the big charts and comes off for transport, and 6×2/6×6 hydrostatic drive with four steering modes, including six-wheel and crab, moves it at up to 15.8 mph.

Why the RTC-80160
Flagship capacity, rough terrain manners.
195.3 ft six-section boom
Greaseless, formed, extra-high-tensile construction: one base and five telescoping sections that extend independently for capacity at length.
311 ft of reach
A 10–31–55 ft bi-fold lattice fly plus one, two, or three 18 ft lattice extensions take tip height from 258 ft to a full 311 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.
59,000 lb of counterweight
Staged counterweights pin to the upper for the big charts, with optional hydraulic removal so the machine travels lighter between jobs.
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.
