Link-Belt® · Rough Terrain Cranes
Eight machines.
One rough terrain line.
From the nimble 65|RT to the 160-ton flagship, the Link-Belt® rough terrain cranes are built for the ground your job actually sits on. We sell, rent, and service every model across north, northeast, central, and west Texas, and southern New Mexico.
Overview
Built for the jobsite.
A rough terrain crane is a single-engine, all-wheel-drive machine built to work directly on an unimproved jobsite: a single cab runs both driving and lifting, four steering modes and all-wheel drive get it into position on dirt, gravel, or mud, and hydraulic outriggers set it up to lift at full rated capacity once it’s there.
Every Link-Belt RT model runs Cummins diesel power and a version of Link-Belt’s Pulse operating system, so the choice between models comes down to capacity, boom length, and footprint.

Why Rough Terrain
Where this class of crane earns its keep.
Unimproved ground
Large earthmover tires and 4×4 drive get the crane into position on dirt, gravel, or mud that would stop a truck-mounted or all-terrain machine.
Four steering modes
Front, rear, all-wheel, and crab steering make tight jobsite maneuvering possible without repositioning haul trucks or material.
Compact footprint
A single carrier around 10 to 11 feet wide fits laydown yards, plant floors, and urban sites that larger cranes cannot reach.
Pick and carry
Rated to lift and travel with a load at reduced capacity, useful for repositioning material without a second machine.
One engine, one operator
A single Cummins diesel runs both the drivetrain and the crane functions, simplifying maintenance and operator training.

Questions, answered
Rough Terrain Crane FAQ
What is a rough terrain crane?
A single-engine, all-wheel-drive crane built on a compact carrier for unimproved and off-highway jobsites. It rides on large rubber tires, steers in four selectable modes, and uses hydraulic outriggers to lift at full capacity once positioned.
What is the difference between rough terrain and all-terrain cranes?
Rough terrain cranes work off-road on the jobsite itself, with a single engine and a top travel speed of 25 mph or less. All-terrain cranes add highway-legal axles to drive between jobsites at highway speed, at the cost of a larger footprint.
What size rough terrain crane do I need?
It depends on your maximum load and radius. Link-Belt’s line runs from the 65|RT (65 US tons) up to the RTC-80160 Series II (160 US tons) across eight models. HOLT can help match a load chart to the right model.
Does HOLT sell and service the whole Link-Belt rough terrain line?
Yes. HOLT Crane & Equipment sells, rents, and services every Link-Belt rough terrain model across north, northeast, central, and west Texas, and southern New Mexico, backed by factory-trained technicians and genuine parts. Call 877-275-1520 to talk through your project.
