Link-Belt Unveils its Largest Excavator
Link-Belt has introduced the largest excavator in its X4S series, the 38-metric-tonne 370 X4S, complete with more standard technology, increased fuel efficiency and an upgraded cab. Replacing the previous 350 X4 model, the 370 X4S is powered by a 268-horsepower Isuzu AQ-6HK1X Final Tier 4 engine paired with an electronically controlled hydraulic pump system and Spool Stroke Control system for increased efficiency and control.

The initial five models in the X4S series – the 170 X4S, 190 X4S, 220 X4S, 260 X4S and 300 X4S –were unveiled at ConExpo 2023. Link-Belt says the 370 X4S offers up to 7% improved fuel consumption without a diesel particulate filter, eliminating the need for maintenance or replacement. Four power modes – Speed Priority, Power, Eco and Lift – let operators adjust machine power, precision and fuel savings for each task.

The ROPS and FOPS Level 1-certified cabs have ample legroom, a high-back seat with air, tilt and heat, adjustable pivoting armrests, headrests, seat height and lumbar support.

In-cab features also include:

  • A high-definition, anti-glare, 10-inch LCD monitor with customisable buttons and display settings for hydraulic work tool names, system and machine warning messages, SCR auto regeneration status, in-cab pressure controls and more
  • WAVES camera system for a 270-degree view around the machine
  • Standard Digital Level, Dynamic Stability Assist, Height and Depth Alarm, and Payload technology
