The new Link-Belt Cranes 65-ton 65|RT is already quick to work, assisting the construction of an overhead transmission line project led by Centerline Drilling of central Oregon. Located in the small town of Lexington, Ore., the project is making use of the 65|RT's ease of operation and smooth job site travel.

Utilized to set rebar cages and anchor bolt cages into 17 drilled pier foundations, the 65|RT is proving itself to be an incredibly useful machine. The cages ranged in size from 8 ft. in diameter by 30 ft. long to 11.5 ft. in diameter by 35 ft. long, weighing up to 16,000 lbs.

Centerline operator Hunter Magnan said the crane handled the cages flawlessly in every configuration. With three years of operator experience, Magnan said the 65|RT was a great entry point to rough terrain cranes for him, logging hundreds of hours on the machine during the time he operated it.

From the crane's seamless controls and smooth job site travel to its ergonomic cab, including features like LED lighting, vision package and a simple-to-use Pulse LMI system, Magnan said he would definitely recommend the 65|RT. For anyone in need of a midsize picker with outstanding capacity at radius and unmatched maneuverability, the 65|RT is a do-it-all machine, the manufacturer said.
