Frequently Asked Questions

How many truck loads does it take to transport the 248|V from job to job?2026-10-07T10:58:08-05:00

A major advantage of the 248|V is its self-assembly cylinder, which travels with the main unit, along with the base section and reeving winch, while remaining under 91,000 pounds. With nine overflow loads for 275 feet of boom and 100 feet of fixed jib, the crane is designed to arrive ready for efficient setup.

What is unique about cranes that feature a combo top?2026-10-07T10:55:34-05:00

The combo top on the 248|V, 298 Series 2, and 348 Series 2 allows the crane to mount it’s heavy-duty tip extension, fixed jib, luffer, or pile-driving leads (248|V only) all with one top. This design eliminates the need for an additional attachment to mount the luffer to the main boom, reducing transport requirements and setup time.

What models have a 12-inch Load Moment Limiter (LML) display?2026-10-07T10:53:50-05:00

The 218|V and 248|V have an intuitive 12-inch HSL-2 LML touchscreen display that gives operators a clean view of real working-range geometry, advanced yet easy-to-understand diagnostics, live or simulated ground bearing pressures for the crane’s full configuration, operator-settable alarms with kickouts, and counterweight sensing.

What are the newest features on the 248|V?2026-10-07T10:51:48-05:00

The 248|V includes key V Series enhancements, such as a 12-inch HSL-2 display, combo top, redesigned third drum, counterweight sensing, power pack mounting lugs, LED lighting, Cummins Stage V engine, APU, improved accessibility and self-assembly/disassembly, swing boundary poles, fall-protection anchors, screw-type quick disconnects, and button-socket end ropes.

What models offer an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), and how can it reduce operating costs?2026-10-07T10:23:56-05:00

The 218|V, 228 HSL, and 248|V have a Link-Belt-designed APU that allows the main unit’s engine to be off while continuing to power the cab, LML display, Bluetooth radio, heated seat, and all lights while providing climate control.  This greatly reduces fuel consumption and engine hours on the main engine. The APU is also available as a retrofit kit for existing 218|V, 218 HSL, 228 HSL, and 248|V cranes.
