The Link-Belt HTC-8640 is a versatile 40 U.S. ton (36.3 metric ton) hydraulic truck crane engineered for utility work, commercial construction, bridge maintenance and industrial lifting. Designed with a 105 ft (32 m) four-section full-power telescopic boom, pilot-operated hydraulic controls and a highway-ready four-axle carrier, the HTC-8640 delivers smooth lifting performance while maintaining excellent transportability between jobsites. This OEM Factory Service PDF Manual provides factory repair procedures, hydraulic diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting, overhaul instructions and inspection specifications for technicians maintaining the crane to original Link-Belt standards.
About the Link-Belt HTC-8640
The HTC-8640 combines a compact truck carrier with a high-strength telescopic boom, making it well suited for projects that require both lifting capability and highway mobility. Its modular design allows major assemblies—including the carrier, hydraulic pumps, swing drive, winches and boom system—to be serviced individually. The OEM factory service manual contains detailed disassembly procedures, hydraulic schematics, diagnostic charts and operational testing methods used by professional crane workshops.
