LINK-BELT EXCAVATORS 160 X4 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Link-Belt 160 X4 is a compact crawler excavator engineered for precision digging and versatile construction applications. This machine features an Isuzu AR-4JJ1X turbocharged engine delivering 112 net horsepower (83 kW), providing responsive power for demanding jobsite conditions. With an operating weight of 38,400 lbs (17.4 metric tons), the 160 X4 maintains excellent maneuverability while delivering substantial digging force. The excavator's hydraulic system utilizes electronically-controlled pumps that enhance cycle times and fuel efficiency, achieving up to 5% faster operation compared to previous models. The machine produces an arm force of 18,800 lbf (84 kN) with auto power boost and a bucket digging force of 26,500 lbf (118 kN), enabling efficient material handling across multiple applications. The standard 16'11" boom accommodates two arm options—an 8'7" arm with 17,800 lbf digging force or a 10'0" arm with 16,200 lbf digging force, both enhanced by power boost technology. Dimensionally, the 160 X4 measures 27 ft 9 in long, 8 ft 6 in wide, and 10 ft 3 in high, enabling operation in confined spaces. Maximum digging depth reaches 19'11" (6.06 m), with ground-level reach extending to 30'3" (9.22 m). The bucket capacity ranges from 0.50 to 1.14 cubic yards (0.38-0.87 cubic meters), accommodating various material handling needs. The machine features a 79-gallon fuel tank and includes Link-Belt's innovative Precision Grade technology, enabling operators to increase productivity by up to 50% through enhanced grade positioning accuracy.
