Important notes & cautions

• The “450 ton” designation seems to refer to ~450 metric-ton rated capacity, not necessarily exactly 450 US-ton.

• The publicly-available spec data is incomplete for many detailed dimensions, transport weights, counterweights, boom combinations.

• Always refer to the actual crane’s OEM rating chart, the identification plate, and the serial number configuration — because different boom assemblies, counterweight packages, jibs, etc will alter the specs.

• The LS-1018 appears to be an older or legacy model; availability of up-to-date manuals may require contacting Link-Belt or a parts/service provider.
