Link-Belt debuts new all-terrain 225|AT at CraneFest 2024

LEXINGTON, Ky. – With a strong focus toward the North American market, Link-Belt Cranes has now delivered the all-new 225-ton (200-metric ton) 225|AT All Terrain crane.

“We’re excited to add the 225|AT to our All Terrain product offering,” said Hydraulic Truck and All Terrain Cranes Product Manager Andrew Soper. “I’m personally thrilled for customers to experience this AT platform with its new features, increased capacities, and superior transportability.”

The 225|AT features a longer reach, larger capacities, and more counterweight than its predecessor, the ATC-3210, while maintaining the excellent transportability that’s the hallmark of Link-Belt’s All Terrain fleet. Designed, built, and tested 100 percent in Lexington, Kentucky, USA, the 225|AT is proudly American made.

The five-axle 225|AT includes a 46- to 202-foot (14–62-meter) six-section latching boom, a 42- to 71-foot (13–22-meter) two-piece hydraulic offsetable SmartFly, an 8-foot (2.4-meter) heavy-lift jib, one or two 25-foot (7.6-meter) lattice fly extensions, and a 334-foot (101.8-meter) max tip height with maximum attachment. The crane incorporates Link-Belt innovations such as the Pulse 2.0 operating system and a wireless rigging remote, as well.

Designed with an efficient modular design that optimizes roadability, the 225|AT features 118,000 pounds (35,966 kilograms) of maximum counterweight, a 29,392-pound (8,958-kilogram) maximum winch line pull, and a maximum line speed of 450 feet per minute (137.2 meters per minute). The crane is a single-engine platform, featuring an EPA-compliant Cummins X-15 engine coupled with a ZF TraXon automated transmission, offering a top speed of 55 miles per hour (88.5 kilometers per hour) and a brake horsepower of 554 (413 kilowatts) at 2,000 revolutions per minute.

Along with this, the 225|AT features a slip-resistant paint deck, fall arrest anchors at all maintenance points, and Link-Belt’s lighting and vision package. This includes powered and heated side view mirrors, HID head lamps, and LED indicator lights.

The 225|AT is HVO ready, including a dual-tank system with a 165-gallon (624.6-liter) fuel capacity as well as a max torque of 1,850 foot-pounds (2,508 Newton-meters) at 1,800 revolutions per minute. Its SmartStack counterweight detection capabilities and Variable Confined Area Lifting Capacities (V-CALC) system provides unlimited outrigger configurations, enhancing reliability and securing the 225|AT’s place as an industry-leading machine.
