FMC Introduces Two New

Crawler Cranes And

Heavy Lift Attachments

FMC Corporation's Construction

Equipment Group recently intro- duced two new Link-Belt" lattice boom crawler cranes, the LS-818 and LS-1018, and also unveiled an innovative design in heavy lift at- tachments. Termed the LS*-918HL, the heavy lift attachment for the existing LS-918 crawler crane in- creases its lift capacity from 400 tons to 700 tons. This new design also permits the 700-ton crane and attachment to travel from one lo- cation to another on the job site in an average time of five hours.

One of the new cranes, the 500- ton LS-1018, is the largest Link-

Belt Crane ever built. It comple- ments the existing 400-ton LS-918, which formerly was available only as a conventional lift crane or as a tower crane. Both of these models will utilize the breakthrough de- sign in heavy lift attachments, in- creasing the capacity of either unit to 700 tons with the 160-foot boom at 80-foot radius.

The 300-ton LS-818 fills the rung above the existing 250-ton LS-718, the first in the Link-Belt large crane line that was introduced in 1976. Conventional heavy lift at- tachments for the LS-718 and LS- 818 increase the capacity of either to 360 tons with basic 140-foot boom at 50-foot radius.

All four cranes are now avail- able with conventional boom, tower, and heavy lift configura- tions—for a total of 12 models— rounding out the Link-Belt large crane line.
