About The Link Belt LS-78 Crawler Crane

The Link Belt LS-78 represents the durable LS-Series crawler crane generation designed for lifting, construction, and material handling applications. Built around a strong crawler base and mechanical operating systems, this crane requires a technician who understands the relationship between controls, hoisting equipment, drive components, and adjustment settings.

Because many LS-78 cranes have worked through decades of service, repairs commonly involve checking original assemblies, wear conditions, mechanical movement, and system adjustments instead of simply replacing components.
