The new tilting upper cab is a first for a Link-Belt Rough Terrain crane and tilts a full 20 degrees for better view of high angles lifts. A swing-up roof window with windshield wiper and washer, sun screen, cup holder, and a five-way-adjustable seat with headrest add to the comfortable work environment.

The RTC-80110 Series II retains the same 6x6x6 hydrostatic drive of the proven of the original 80100. Link Belt says that it has delivered over 300 of its 80110 and 80130 three axle Rough Terrain cranes proving that the concept is a solid alternative to large two axle Rough Terrain cranes.
