Link-Belt® · Telescopic Truck Cranes
Four machines.
One highway line.
From the 40-ton 40|HT to the 120-ton flagship pair, Link-Belt’s telescopic truck cranes drive themselves to the job on public roads. HOLT Crane sells, rents, and services every model across north, northeast, central, and west Texas, and southern New Mexico.
Overview
Powerful cranes that drive to work.
A telescopic truck crane rides on a highway-legal chassis with its own truck cab up front for road travel, plus a separate crane cab and upper structure. That means it can be driven between job sites on public roads at highway speed with no trailer required. The cranes then can be set up on their hydraulic outriggers to lift at full rated capacity.
Every Link-Belt HT model in this line runs a Cummins engine and a version of Link-Belt’s Pulse operating system, so the choice between models comes down to capacity, boom length, and how far the next job is.
We can help you find the crane you need.

Why Telescopic Truck
Where this class of crane earns its keep.
Drives itself to the job
A highway-legal chassis with its own engine and cab means no trailer, no separate transport truck for the ride over.
Highway speed
Governed speeds from 60 to 61 mph across this line get the crane to the next job fast, especially valuable across multiple sites in a day.
CALC / V-CALC outriggers
Selectable full, intermediate, or retracted outrigger positions set up quickly on a paved or improved surface.
Urban and industrial sites
Built for paved yards, plant sites, and road work where a truck-mounted crane’s mobility matters more than off-road capability.
One engine, one operator
Cummins power runs both the road drivetrain and the crane functions, simplifying maintenance and operator training.
Backed by HOLT Crane
Every telescopic truck crane we sell or rent is serviced by our factory-trained technicians with genuine Link-Belt® parts.
Questions, answered
Telescopic Truck Crane FAQ
What is a telescopic truck crane?
A crane built onto a highway-legal truck chassis with its own engine and cab for road travel, plus a separate upper crane structure and cab. It drives itself to the jobsite on public roads at highway speed instead of riding a trailer.
What is the difference between telescopic truck and rough terrain cranes?
A telescopic truck crane rides on a highway-legal chassis with a separate driving cab and can travel between jobsites on its own at highway speed. A rough terrain crane has a single cab for both driving and lifting, is built for off-road mobility, and typically needs a trailer to relocate.
What size telescopic truck crane do I need?
It depends on your maximum load, radius, and required reach. Link-Belt’s current line runs from the 40|HT (40 US tons) up to the 120|HT and 120|HTLB (120 US tons), with the HTLB offering a longer boom for extra height. HOLT can help match a load chart to the right model.
Does HOLT sell and service the whole Link-Belt telescopic truck line?
Yes. HOLT Crane & Equipment sells, rents, and services the Link-Belt telescopic truck crane line 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.
