Link-Belt's 'Diggin' for a Cure' tour made a stop at Kirby-Smith Machinery in St. Louis, where a pink excavator raised funds for breast cancer research. Since 2012, Link-Belt has raised over $1,000,000 for breast cancer awareness. Kirby-Smith Machinery (KSM) participated with Link-Belt Excavators as one of the featured stops on its "Diggin' for a Cure — Pink-Belt Tour." To mark the occasion, KSM held a customer appreciation event on Sept. 9, 2025, at its St. Louis facility, complete with complimentary merchandise, barbeque and a silent auction to benefit breast cancer awareness initiatives. The Pink-Belt — a Link-Belt 145X4 excavator, painted pink — is on a nationwide tour to raise awareness and money to support breast cancer research.
