The company claims: “The galvaneal operator’s cab with curved front window glass dramatically increases visibility at high boom angles. For optimum operator productivity and comfort, the six-way adjustable seat perfectly matches up to the controls. Lift-up armrests and a wide sliding door allow easy access to the cab. All gauges and switches are in the operator’s forward line of sight and backlit for low-light operation. The optional air conditioner integrates into the heating and ventilation system, which has directional vents in the front of the cab and beside the seat.”
The RTC-8065 Series II features the new Link-Belt-designed, 38-115ft (11.6-35m) four-section full power formed boom. Available as an option, a 35-58 ft (10.7-17.7 m) bi-folding fly attachment extends maximum tip height to 180ft (54.9m). Two optional lattice fly inserts extend the tip height to over 211ft (64.3m). The fly options have four offset positions of 2, 15, 30, and 45 degrees.
The RTC-8065’s automotive style, “4-Link” suspension is claimed to be a first in rough terrain cranes. Link-Belt says: “The fully independent rear suspension reduces bouncing and improves handling both on and off the road. For an even better ride, Link-Belt’s patented Hydro-gas Ride suspension is available as an option. This system’s charged accumulator serves as a shock absorber improving carrier stability. At higher road speeds, Hydro-gas Ride provides a level of comfort and handling unmatched by other rough terrain cranes.”
