Link-Belt 85|RT supports waterfront work in Seattle

For eight months, a Link-Belt 85|RT rough terrain crane played a key role in one of Seattle’s most complex infrastructure undertakings: the Overlook Walk project. Operated by Nick Jaramillo of Garner Construction, the 85-ton (77-tonne) crane lifted materials ranging from 9,600-pound (4,354-kg) shoring beams to massive boulders, all within the tight confines of the city’s waterfront.

Purchased by Hoffman Construction from Triad Machinery, the crane’s 142-foot (43.3-metre) greaseless boom, compact size, and V-CALC capabilities made it well-suited to the constrained, high-traffic job site. “Everything we needed to do with the 85|RT, we could do,” said Jaramillo.

The Overlook Walk connects Pike Place Market to the expanded Seattle Aquarium and features event spaces, vendor areas, and elevated pedestrian walkways. Project manager John Hamilton praised the 85|RT’s quick setup and teardown, which helped keep the site organized.

“Its efficient, straightforward setup and breakdown allowed us to maintain a compact and well-organized job site,” he said. Features like all-wheel steer, LED lighting, ergonomic cab controls, and Link-Belt’s Pulse 2.0 system supported both operator comfort and precision.
