Link-belt TCC-450

The Link-Belt TCC-450 is a 45-ton telescopic crawler crane engineered for superior job site flexibility, control, and reliability. With a four-section, full-power boom ranging from 33 ft to 105 ft (10.06 m to 32.0 m), the crane provides extensive lifting flexibility, including an optional 20 ft (6.09 m) one-piece swing-away fly for a total maximum tip height of 125 ft (38.1 m). Its hammerhead-style boom nose enhances workability at steep boom angles, while the exclusive A-max mode boosts close-range lifting capacity significantly. Standard B-mode offers even extension of all four boom sections.

Power is provided by a whisper-quiet Isuzu diesel engine rated at 197 hp (146.90 kW), ensuring strong performance while maintaining fuel efficiency. The crane’s hoisting system includes grooved main and auxiliary winches designed for 18 mm wire rope, delivering a line pull of up to 17,916 lbs (8,127 kg) and a line speed of 340 fpm (103.7 m/min). A mechanical drum rotation indicator further improves operator feedback.

The TCC-450’s 32″ wide grouser track shoes give it a variable gauge—11′ 2″ (3.40 m) when extended and 8′ 9″ (2.66 m) when retracted—enhancing stability during lifts and reducing width during transport. Its retractable side frames and fold-up catwalks enable the entire crane to be transported as a single load, dramatically reducing mobilization time and cost.

Operator comfort is enhanced with ergonomic controls, AM/FM radio, air conditioning, a sliding left-side door, swing-up roof window, and a wireless rated capacity limiter. Control is made easy with single-axis joysticks, hand/foot throttle, and travel pedals, while the hydraulic swing system ensures smooth rotation via a turntable bearing with internal swing teeth.

The Link-Belt TCC-450 offers a strong combination of mobility, lifting power, and compact design, making it ideal for confined and rugged job sites where no other rough terrain or crawler crane can easily operate.
