Crane Serial Number

The crane serial number is on the Crane Rating Manual

in the lower right interior of the operator's cab. The

crane serial number should always be furnished when

ordering parts for the crane, or when corresponding

with the Link- Belt Distributor or the Factory regarding

the crane. The serial number is the only method of en-

suring that the correct parts will be furnished.

Operator's Manual

In the event the serial number cannot be found on the

Crane Rating Manual, a number is stamped on top of

the bumper on the right side of the carrier and on the

two position swing lock weldment. This number can

then be used to help to identify the crane.
