LBX Company announces the Link-Belt 250 X4 Material Handler (MH) and 250 X4 Scrap Loader (SL) for the US and Canada. Both feature an electronically-controlled 177 horsepower Isuzu engine that meets EPA Final Tier 4 requirements, without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

The 250 X4 MH material handler and 250 X4 SL scrap loader are purpose-built for material handling and demolition applications, featuring a two-piece, factory-designed attachment with hose burst check valves. The MH (Material Handler) configuration has a curved boom and straight arm, while the SL (Scrap Loader/handler) has a straight boom and droop-nose arm. The hydraulics package features award-winning Spool Stroke Control (SSC) technology to achieve maximum control and productivity. Pre-set hydraulic motor and pump for 15kW hydraulically driven generator with controller installation mount comes standard on 250 X4 SL.

“The new hydraulics package delivers up to 7% faster cycle times than its predecessor,” said Adam Woods, LBX Product Manager. “This performance increase is largely due to a new proprietary control valve with a 30% larger hydraulic passage area. But we didn’t stop there. We increased the size of arm, boom and auxiliary spools to reduce pressure loss and distribute oil more smoothly. Two electrically-controlled Kawasaki pumps and one Kawasaki gear pump assure that hydraulic flow gets delivered precisely when and where it’s needed. The end result is more smoothness, maneuverability, and precision across all operating modes.”

The roomy X4 cab maximizes operator comfort and convenience, featuring a standard air suspension seat with +/- 5-degree tilt. Arm rests move proportionally with the console, which means that the distance and angle between joysticks and operator remains the same, no matter how the seat is adjusted. OPG level 1 front guard, OPS top guard, ISO guard rails and mirrors are standard. Full bar guard, hinged bar guard, and mesh guarding packages are available to protect your investment.

The Hydraulic Cab Riser features a higher operator view – 4.85m at eye-level height. A new in-line drift valve and shock-less cab riser design improve operator comfort and control. A large, 7-inch LCD color monitor allows the operator to easily navigate a full menu of user-friendly controls to take full command of the excavator and attachments. The standard rear-view camera is accessible through the monitor, displaying a panoramic view of the worksite from the rear of the machine, with sight guidelines that can be turned on or off by the operator. Rear and sidelights can also be added to the camera system. An under-cab camera option provides all-around visibility and safety. For the ultimate in visibility, the Wide Angle Visual Enhancement System (WAVES) can be added.
