Users around the world agree the Link-Belt LS98l is one of the most versatile and durable cranes ever built. Regardless of how it is rigged, be it lift crane, dragline, clamshell, log loader, scrap handler, pile driver, demolition, hoe, or shovel, the LS-98 excels in all in forms. A Waukesha gas engine rated at 109 net hp was the standard power plant and optional diesel engines were available from all the major makers upon request. Production of the LS98 began in 1954 and continued for over 42 years with over 7,000 units being shipped globally making it one of the most successful construction equipment machines ever manufactured.
When rigged for crane work, and fitted with the proper counterweights, it had a lifting capacity of 31,000 lbs with a 60 foot boom.
