Integral Rated Capacity Limiter
This “LMI” system aids the operator in safe
and efficient operation by continuously monitoring
boom length, boom angle, head height, radius of load,
machine configuration, allowed load, actual load, and
percent of allowed load. This Microguard 434 graphic
audio-visual system features improved access time,
improved radio frequency shielding, a new display panel
with large liquid crystal alphanumeric display, total system
override capabilities to provide for rigging requirements
and an expanded memory which provides capacity
information on all possible lift configurations.
An exclusive new feature available on the RTC-8050 is
the Operator Defined Area Alarm. By setting two points,
the operator creates an imaginary vertical plane to maintain
a safe working distance from nearby obstacles. Should the Operator Cab Dash Dash panel provides easy control

The RTC-8050 with 172' (52.43 m) of on-board tip height is specifically
designed to give contractors and rental house companies the best
equipment value in the 50-ton RT class.

Power Train Utilizing

a standard Cummins engine
and Clark transmission trans-
lates to maximum parts availability
as these components are common to many
drive trains used in the construction industry.
The Cummins 215 horsepower (160 kW) engine is
coupled to a Clark 6-speed forward, 2-speed reverse
powershift transmission. This electric over hydraulic transmission is far
superior to air shift which have the potential to freeze up in cold weather conditions.
Gear Pumps One triple gear and one single gear type pump provide hydraulic power.
A mechanical disconnect on the triple pump saves wear on the hydraulic system and reduces
the load placed on the engine when travelling long distances.
Added Value Carrier Features Large grab handles and steps strategically located
around the RTC-8050 provide superior accessibility to carrier deck areas and engine for routine
maintenance and service. Safety strips on top of the deck and fenders provide a non-slip surface
for maintenance personnel.
A standard oversize storage compartment is ideal for tools, slings, and accessories. Additionally an
outrigger cover package, lightweight aluminum outrigger floats with a “quick latch” feature, rigid front axle
for greater stability in rough terrain, dual full air service/emergency brake for improved braking, air service
ports, complete light package, and aluminum fuel tank for less condensation and corrosion set new rough
terrain crane standards...superior customer benefits for superior customer value.
Two-Part Paint Coating System Setting another new industry standard, Link-Belt
is utilizing a two-part coating technology
coupled with a pre-paint process before
assembly to provide the finest quality
coating system available today. This new
2-part paint and coating technology
provides superior adhesion and abrasion
resistance. In addition, because all parts
are painted before assembly, 100%
coverage of each part is realized, virtually
Pre-Painted components eliminating corrosion bleed-through
that is common with old paint processes.
The combination of this paint’s superior abrasion resistance and the pre-painting
technique dramatically enhances the aesthetic appeal of the final machine as nuts, bolts, hoses,
and a whole multitude of piece parts are no longer painted. As a result, paint chipping, cracking,
and paint deterioration is substantially reduced when service work and disassembly is required.

State-Of-The-Art Oil Seal Technology The RTC-8050 features

improved seals on boomhoist, boom extend/retract, and outrigger jack
cylinders. This new ‘redundant’ oil seal technology incorporates 3 rod
sealing surfaces versus one or two found on competitive models. This new
seal design is highly resistant to side loading and pressure spikes for
outstanding sealing performance and, when incorporated with full
o-ring face seal ‘ORFS’ technology used throughout the machine,
leads to an environmentally dry system.

Computer-Aided Design Link-Belt

has pursued a course of ‘continuous innovation’
to set new standards for hydraulic crane
design...design originals that improve
reliability and performance.
Advanced, high speed computer-aided,

Industry first innovations...
Confined Area Lifting Capacities (CALC ) System TM

The RTC-8050 rough terrain crane is specifically designed to allow contractors to work in
confined work areas where full outrigger extension is not possible. The CALC system provides
the operator with three outrigger positions (full extension, intermediate, and fully retracted).
Outriggers may be extended to an intermediate position where working area is limited or, in
extremely tight quarters, lifts can be made with outriggers fully retracted. In the fully retracted
outrigger mode, lift capacities are significantly improved over the ‘on tires’ configuration
because of the ability to fully level the machine, no matter the ground conditions.

Fully Extended Outriggers Intermediate Extended Outriggers Fully Retracted Outriggers

22' 0" (6.71 m) spread 15' 6" (4.72 m) spread 9' 3/4" (2.76 m) spread

The outrigger position levers (located on the outrigger boxes) are

easily applied. Once the levers are engaged, the operator can set the
crane in the intermediate or fully retracted outrigger mode without
having to leave the cab.
Under full extension, the outrigger beams extend to a wide 22' 0"
(6.71 m) spread centerline to centerline. Centerline to centerline
spread dimension for intermediate outriggers measures 15' 6" (4.72 m)
and 9' 3/4" (2.76 m) for fully retracted...narrow enough to fit in extremely
tight working areas but with the stability and capacities provided by being
set on outriggers.
A thorough, easy-to-read crane rating manual gives the operator
comprehensive capacities covering the three outrigger positions with
all attachments plus ‘pick and carry’ capacities.
The CALC System...another industry innovation from Link-Belt
designed for exceptional customer value.

Full Power Boom With Exclusive A-max Mode

A customer benefit which enhances the
8050’s performance and provides the
operator the capability to match the crane’s
configuration to specific jobsite conditions.
For maximum tip height the basic boom
extension mode offers a full power,
synchronized mode of telescoping all
sections proportionally to 110' 0" (33.53 m).
To enhance performance, the exclusive
A-max mode (or mode ‘A’) extends only
