About the Link-Belt HTC-8640 HL
Developed for contractors requiring increased lifting capability without sacrificing transport efficiency, the HTC-8640 HL incorporates reinforced carrier components and a heavy-lift configuration that distinguishes it from the standard HTC-8640. Its modular construction allows major hydraulic, mechanical and structural assemblies to be serviced individually. The OEM workshop manual includes detailed removal and installation procedures, hydraulic schematics, adjustment specifications and diagnostic flowcharts used by factory-trained service technicians.
