Link-Belt Cranes held CraneFest 2024 at its world headquarters in Lexington, Ky., Sept. 16 to 20, 2024. The event was held in two-day sessions with representatives of the company's dealer network, rental houses and end users in attendance to learn about Link-Belt's historic beginnings, manufacturing capabilities and lineup of world class cranes.

Link-Belt hosted a reception and dinner at Fasig-Tipton, the oldest Thoroughbred auction company. The reception and dinner provided an excellent opportunity for attendees to network with peers and spend time with Link-Belt representatives.

The following day, the Link-Belt executive team welcomed the group with opening remarks followed by a video presentation which outlined Link-Belt's history, development and accomplishments. Attendees were then bussed to the Link-Belt Company world headquarters for a tour of the manufacturing facility. After the tour, attendees were led to an outdoor staging area for a live presentation of Link-Belt's full product line.

Link-Belt introduced its new 65-ton (60 t) 65 RT to its rough-terrain product line. The 65 RT includes a four-section, full-power, greaseless main boom (38 to 115 ft. [11.6 to 35 m]) and an optional 35 to 58-ft. (10.7 to 17.7-m) offsetable bi-fold lattice fly that are manufactured in the United States at Link-Belt's headquarters.

The 65 RT features a new hydraulic boom extend system, as well as LED lighting for brighter, more efficient lighting during low-light conditions. The 65 RT also is equipped with a new six-speed Dana transmission with a remote filter for ease of servicing. The transmission is mounted to a 270-hp Cummins QSB6.7L Tier IV engine.

Following Link-Belt's presentation of its crane lineup, CraneFest attendees were treated to lunch, after which they had an opportunity to review the cranes up close while spending time with Link-Belt company representatives for a full run down on each of the models. CEG
