To better meet customer demands, Link-Belt Cranes has announced an upgrade to base rating of its 110-ton telecrawler to 120-ton. Shipments of the new TCC-1200 will begin fourth quarter 2018.

A common lower carbody to the TCC-1400 has improved efficiency of production and provided an upgrade in base rating from the previous TCC-1100 telescopic crawler crane.

"This new TCC-1200 has earned its 120-ton badge. We tested and passed the new base rating at the same radius as the original 110-ton," said Scott Knight, product manager of lattice and telescopic crawler cranes.

The TCC-1200 offers an impressive capacity chart at radius that rivals even lattice crawler cranes with a similar base rating. The TCC-1200 is a full power boom, fabricated from ultra-high-strength steel and formed in Link-Belt's own formed boom facility. The main boom height is 40 to 150 ft. (12.2 to 45.7 m) long and incorporates Teflon wear pucks to eliminate boom grease. It will come with three track widths — extended (18 ft. 2 in [5.5 m]), intermediate (15 ft. 8 in. [4.8 m]), and retracted (11 ft. 11 in. [3.6 m]), which offers varying footprint capability in popular telecrawler sectors such as energy, industrial and infrastructure.

Wireless Remote Control

An optional wireless remote control system is now available for the new TCC-1200 and TCC-1400. The wireless remote provides a solution for industries and other operations where required, and allows the operator to be out of the cab and still have control of the crane.
