IMAGE - The new 80-ton telescopic crawler crane will begin field-testing early spring 2020, and first shipments scheduled in fourth quarter 2020.

IMAGE - The TCC-800 comes with a new four-section 38 ft. – 120 ft. (11.8 – 36.5 m) full-power boom that reaches a maximum tip height of 184.5 ft. (56.2 m) with full boom and Link-Belt’s SmartFly pinning system.

IMAGE - New to Link-Belt’s telecrawler lineup will be variable side frame track positions (V-CALC) on the TCC-800.

IMAGE - Total vision package with right-side swing camera, winch-view camera, and rear-view camera give the operator great jobsite visibility during setup and lifting.

IMAGE - The TCC-800 self-assembles with 38,500 lbs (17 463kg) of upper counterweight and two 3,000 lb. (1 360 kg) sections of carbody counterweight.

The tight working path required both the LS-248H II and HC-248H to position themselves less than two feet from each other in order to accommodate the final lift.

In combination, the three cranes lifted steel for the new 8,500-seat arena, which was completed in late October 2019.

IMAGE - Dominion Energy Virginia, a unit of Dominion Energy, Inc., finalized purchase of a Link-Belt 150-ton (135-mt) RTC-80150 Series II for North Anna Power Station in Mineral, Virginia.

IMAGE - During the shutdown several critical component lifts are made including replacement of an 80,000 lb. (36 287 kg), 7,000 hp (5 219 kW) electric motor that powers the reactor coolant pump or an 18,000 lb. (8 164 kg) vessel cover that requires being picked and carried 300 ft. (91.4 m) around existing components.

IMAGE - “This crane has the small footprint and long boom needed for this facility,” said North Anna Facilities Support Superintendent, Kenneth Boyd.

IMAGE - A scheduled shutdown every 18 months for the generating plant requires repairs and maintenance around the clock for a 30-day period.

IMAGE - “The 80150 is a workhorse for us. It’s so much more agile than what we had before. We now have the mobility to access all parts of either dome for inspection from one spot. Realistically, it’s almost as though it’s an extension of the operator, it’s just that precise.

Image - Jason Wibbenmeyer (of CSC) stated that one of the decisions in choosing the Link-Belt cranes is service. “We pride ourselves in our service to our customer and we feel that Link-Belt does the same,” says Wibbenmeyer.

Image - Construction began in 2017 at Danforth Campus and is on a fast track, time critical schedule for a 2019 completion.

Image - A Link-Belt HTC-86110 110-ton (100-mt) hydraulic truck crane lifts an excavator boom for Great Lakes Environmental Structure near Greeley, Colo.

Image - The HTC-86110’s chart allows it to lift various assemblies of the excavator from one position while transport trailers arrive and load everything out.

Image - “We have gone to Link-Belt cranes because it’s the right combination for us. The crane covers the right capacity, has the right amount of intelligence, but still enough brawn. Our guys feel it’s a good, tough piece of equipment to handle everything we need covered,” says Ryan Harper, Operations Manager for the northern Colorado branch of RMS Cranes.

Image - RMS Cranes is based in Denver, CO and in 2015 merged with TNT Crane and Rigging of Houston, TX, to form a network providing 38 branch locations.

Image - The HTC-86110 lifts 50,000 lb. (22 679 kg) track assemblies and excavator booms on two long boom excavators being disassembled following several months of work.

Image - “We’ve really liked having the TCC-500 on this project, it feathers in with the controls nicely whenever we’re handing off cans or whatever we need to pick,” says Project Superintendent for Charles Blalock & Sons, Tim Payne.

Image - Workers pour concrete into a drilled hole.

Image - The project is scheduled to be completed by November 2019 with the most amount of time reserved for construction of retaining walls.

Image - One stretch of the new road requires retaining walls be 65 ft. (19.8 m) tall. In order to handle the steep and narrow access roads at the top of the hillside, Blalock & Sons purchased a 50-ton TCC-500 telescopic crawler crane.

Image - Charles Blalock & Sons of Sevierville, TN were awarded contract for a portion of a multi-phase $71 million contract to realign and improve 1.69 miles of SR115/Alcoa Hwy south of downtown Knoxville, Tenn.
