A Closer Look At The Link-Belt ATC-3275 All-Terrain Crane

Link-Belt's ATC-3275 is a very popular all-terrain crane that is especially favored for its transportability. The crane can be configured to meet some of the strictest transportation regulations with “Stow ’n go” outrigger pontoons that are easily secured for transport, and jobsite travel is possible with all 156,500 pounds (70,987 kilograms) of counterweight. The ATC-3275 can travel at highway speeds up to 62 mph (100 km/h) and it transports with four overflow loads where other cranes in its class require up to six. The crane’s anti-lock disc brakes, transmission intarder, true engine compression brake, and hydro-gas suspension provide a safe, smooth ride on the highway.

On The Fly

The 12-foot (3.65-meter) fly attachment provides a 34.8-ton (31.5-metric-ton) maximum capacity and two-line, one-load lift capabilities. The fly can be manually offset to positions of 2, 15, 30, and 45 degrees, and hydraulically offset to positions ranging from 2 to 45 degrees with no capacity deduction for luffing loads. Two- and three-piece bi-folding lattice fly attachments are also available. These allow the tip section to be stored and enhance the lifting performance when using the base section.

Powerful Performance

The 275-ton (250-metric-ton)-capacity crane is equipped with a 43.7- to 223-ft (13.3- to 68-m) seven-section formed boom. The seven-pump, pressure-compensated hydraulic system enables simultaneous precision function of the boom hoist, winch, and swing. The crane has matched-size front and optional rear winches to provide equal max line pulls of 25,955 pounds-force (115.5 kilonewtons) and max line speeds of 405 feet per minute (123.4 meters per minute) on 15-inch (38.1-centimeter) root diameter grooved drums. The two bi-directional hydraulic swing motors are mounted to a planetary reduction unit to allow 360-degree continuous swing.

Spacious Cab

The large, quiet cab has a pull-out CabWalk for easy access and an extra-large front window. The cab tilts upward as much as 20 degrees and has backlit gauges, switches, indicators, and controls placed in the operator’s forward line of sight. Operators have right side swing, main, and auxiliary winch cameras for increased visibility. A fully adjustable air-ride fabric seat, a roll-down door window, suspended pedals, and AM/FM radio provide increased operator comfort.
