Link-Belt Cranes has announced an upgrade to base rating of its 110USt telecrawler to 120USt, with the new model called the TCC-1200.

A common lower carbody to the TCC-1400 has improved efficiency of production and provided an upgrade in base rating from the previous TCC-1100 telescopic crawler crane.

“This new TCC-1200 has earned its 120USt badge. We tested and passed the new base rating at the same radius as the original 110USt,” said Scott Knight, product manager for lattice and telescopic crawler cranes.

The TCC-1200’s full power boom is fabricated in Link-Belt’s own formed boom facility from ultra-high-strength steel. The main boom height is 40–150ft (12.2–45.7m) long and incorporates Teflon wear pucks to eliminate boom grease. It will come with three track widths: extended (18ft 2in), intermediate (15ft 8in), and retracted (11ft 11in).

The manufacturer said shipments of the new crane will begin in the fourth quarter of 2018.

An optional wireless remote control system is now available for the new TCC-1200 and TCC-1400. The wireless remote provides a solution for industries and other operations where required, and allows the operator to be out of the cab and still have control of the crane.
