THE TCC-800 TELESCOPIC CRAWLER crane debuted at ConExpo 2020 and began field-testing shortly after. First shipments are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020. Its predecessor, the top selling telecrawler TCC-750, has been a cornerstone of the US telecrawler market since its initial debut in 2008. The TCC-800 comes with a new four-section 11.8m-36.5m full-power boom that reaches a maximum tip height of 56.2m with full boom and Link-Belt’s SmartFly pinning system. Link-Belt SmartFly helps ensure proper fly erection and stowage sequence while minimizing work at height. This SmartFly system continues to get high marks from industry owners. The TCC800 offers optional one or two-piece 10.6-17.6m fly.

Pulse 2.0 monitors actual side frame position, auto-selecting the correct chart,” said Scott Knight, Product Manager Lattice and Telescopic Crawler Cranes.
