Link-Belt LS-98: The Last Great American Machine

Описание: Meet the Link-Belt LS-98: the "Corvette" of the job site. Born in the Dust Bowl and perfected in Iowa, this friction-driven outlaw changed the concept of speed forever. It demanded a "piano player’s" touch and punished incompetence with lethal force. From its rise as an American industrial icon to its survival in the frozen Alaskan North, we explore why this sixty-year-old mechanical beast still outworks modern engineering.
