Link-Belt HTC-3140LB

The Link-Belt HTC-3140LB is a high-performance 140-ton truck crane, engineered for heavy-duty lifting applications requiring long reach, strong lifting capacity, and superior mobility. It is an upgraded variant of the HTC-3140, offering a longer 59.5-meter (195.2-foot) seven-section boom, making it ideal for high-reach applications such as steel erection, bridge construction, and industrial maintenance. The crane also offers a jib attachment, extending the maximum system length for additional lifting height and versatility.

A significant upgrade was introduced in 2016, when both the HTC-3140LB and HTC-3140 received emissions and performance enhancements. The carrier engine was upgraded to 581 hp (434 kW) to meet EPA 2013 on-highway emissions standards, improving fuel efficiency and environmental compliance. The upper structure engine, producing 250 hp (186 kW), was upgraded to Tier 4 Final/Stage IV off-highway standards, maintaining the twin-engine platform for independent crane and carrier operation. This ensures efficient power distribution, smooth operation, and reduced fuel consumption during both lifting and transport operations.

The HTC-3140LB is built for mobility, with all-wheel steering and a high-performance carrier chassis, allowing it to travel efficiently between job sites. The crane’s hydraulic system is optimized for smooth boom extension, precise load handling, and high lifting speeds, ensuring operational efficiency on demanding projects.

Inside the operator’s cab, the HTC-3140LB offers a modern control interface, ergonomic joystick controls, and an advanced load monitoring system, improving safety and ease of operation. The comfortable, climate-controlled cab enhances operator efficiency, making it suitable for long working hours on complex lifting projects.

With its extended long-boom design, emissions-compliant engine upgrades, and advanced lifting capabilities, the Link-Belt HTC-3140LB remains a leading truck crane in the 140-ton class, delivering power, reach, and efficiency for a wide range of lifting applications.
