Powered by a turbocharged Isuzu DD-4BG1T diesel engine, this machine delivers 101 net horsepower at 2,200 rpm with maximum torque of 311 foot-pounds, providing reliable performance across varied job site conditions. The excavator features an operating weight of 36,200 pounds and operates on a 24-volt electrical system with a 40-amp alternator. The 160LX offers two boom and stick configuration options to suit diverse operational requirements. Configuration one achieves maximum cutting heights of 30.6 feet and digging depths of 20.1 feet, while configuration two extends capabilities to 31.5 feet cutting height and 21.2 feet digging depth. Both configurations provide maximum reach along ground of 29.5 to 30.6 feet respectively, with bucket capacities ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 cubic yards. The machine maintains an impressive 5.8 psi ground pressure, minimizing environmental disturbance on sensitive terrain. Hydraulically powered systems operate at 4,970 psi relief pressure with 72.4 gallons per minute pump flow capacity. The swing mechanism rotates at 11.4 rpm with 7.8-foot tail swing radius, while travel speed reaches 3.6 mph across two-speed hydrostatic transmissions. The undercarriage incorporates 43 shoes per side with 7.5-inch track pitch and measures 8.5 feet wide, ensuring stability on challenging surfaces. Fuel capacity of 66.1 gallons supports extended operational periods between refueling.
