The TCC-450 is based on a HSC crane launched in 2005. Link-Belt is targeting the power line and water tank construction markets, as well as contractors engaged in right-of-way, foundation, and ‘tie back’ work. Pat Collins, Link-Belt’s lattice crane product manager commented, “As this work continues to be more specialised and these units are accepted into general construction and bridge building, the larger national rental houses and contractors will move toward meeting this demand and add these units to their fleets. It could mean we expand to three or four different sized units.”
