Link-Belt Rough Terrain Crane — from the 75 RT to the RTC8090
"Link-Belt Rough Terrain Crane" bundles the manufacturer's whole line of terrain-capable compact cranes in SpecCodex — over 32 recorded models spanning 82 to 257 kW and roughly 5.4 to almost 65 tonnes of working weight. What stands out in the samples — 75 RT, 110 RT, HSP-15, HSP-18, HSP-22, RTC8022, RTC8030, RTC8035 — is that the naming patterns span three different decades.

The oldest logic sits in "75 RT" and "110 RT": a tonnage figure followed by the Rough Terrain abbreviation, as Link-Belt used it in the 1970s. The 1980s brought the HSP line (Hydraulic Self-Propelled) with the "Eighty Series", running from HSP-8015 to HSP-8050 — again, the number roughly tracks the capacity class.
Today's RTC-8000 series continues the same principle: the RTC80 prefix is followed by the tonnage class, so an RTC8090 is a 90-ton-class crane. Suffixes such as "Series II" mark technical revisions within the same class.
For a used HSP or RT model, check boom wear and the telescoping hydraulic hoses closely — on 1970s/80s-built units, that's usually the costliest repair point. On the newer RTC8000 models, winch hours and rope condition matter most.
In short: reading the model name alone usually tells you both the capacity class and roughly the decade of manufacture, whether it's prefixed RT, HSP or RTC.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
