LINK-BELT EXCAVATORS 245 X4 SPIN-ACE CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Link-Belt 245 X4 Spin-Ace excavator is a midsize crawler machine designed for high performance and versatility in excavation tasks. It features a powerful Isuzu engine delivering 160 hp (119 kW) of net power at 1,800 rpm with a displacement of 5.2 liters, compliant with EPA Final Tier 4 emissions standards without requiring a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The excavator's operating weight is approximately 56,900 lbs (25,800 kg), providing excellent stability and balance during operation. The maximum digging depth is 21.83 feet (6.65 meters), with a maximum reach along the ground of 32.32 feet, enabling substantial earthmoving capacity. The machine includes three selectable power modes (Speed Priority, Heavy, and Applied Power) to optimize fuel efficiency, precision, and power output tailored to different job demands. Hydraulic components are mounted within the side frame width for protection, and travel motors incorporate counterbalance valves and a spring-applied hydraulic parking brake for safety and control. Travel speeds range from 2.0 to 3.1 mph, and the excavator has a drawbar pull rating of 45,000 lbf and a gradeability of 70%. The 245 X4 Spin-Ace's boom measures 18 feet 8 inches, with available arms of 9 feet 8 inches and 7 feet 10 inches. Bucket digging force is rated at 31,800 lbf, with Auto Power Boost increasing arm forces up to 30,000 lbf, offering enhanced digging performance. The compact minimum swing radius and advanced spool stroke control (SSC) improve maneuverability and operator precision in confined spaces. This excavator balances robust power with fuel efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of excavation and construction applications.
