Link Belt HSP-8028S Crane Service Pdf Manual
Link-Belt HSP-8028S Crane Service PDF Manual
The Link-Belt HSP-8028S was developed for contractors who required more lifting capacity without increasing machine size. With a 28 U.S. ton (25.4 metric ton) rating, compact 4×4 carrier and multiple boom configurations, it became a dependable crane for steel erection, refinery maintenance, utility construction and heavy industrial projects. Unlike larger all-terrain cranes, the HSP-8028S excels on confined jobsites where maneuverability and fast setup are equally important. This OEM Factory Service PDF Manual provides professional technicians with factory-approved procedures for diagnosing, rebuilding and restoring the crane's mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems.
Built for Versatile Lifting Applications
The HSP-8028S features a standard three-section hydraulic boom extending from 28 ft 9 in to 70 ft 3 in (8.76–21.41 m), while optional two-section and four-section boom configurations allow increased working heights up to approximately 91 ft (27.74 m). A hydraulic tandem gear pump operating at 2,800 psi, planetary swing drive and four-wheel-drive carrier provide the performance needed for demanding lifting operations across uneven terrain.
