Technical Description
The Link-Belt 460 X2 excavator is a heavy-duty hydraulic excavator designed for superior digging efficiency and durability. It features an Isuzu AH-6UZ1XYSS turbocharged diesel engine delivering a net power of 362 hp (270 kW) at 2000 rpm and a peak torque of approximately 1,058 lbf-ft (1,435 Nm) at 1,500 rpm. The engine is a 9.8-liter, six-cylinder inline unit with a direct common rail injection system, air-to-air charge cooling, and VGS turbocharger, offering high performance with fuel efficiency and compliance with Tier 4 emissions standards. The operating weight is 105,600 lbs (47,900 kg), positioning it as a robust machine for challenging excavation tasks.
The machine's boom measures 22 feet 11 inches (6.98 m), with a maximum digging depth of 27.3 feet and a maximum reach along the ground of 40.4 feet, enabling extensive earthmoving capability. The excavator is equipped with sealed and strutted track chains and rollers for extended undercarriage life and features two-speed independent hydrostatic travel with a maximum speed of 3.3 mph (5.3 km/h), a drawbar pull of 76,660 lbf (341 kN), and gradeability of 70% (35°) for strong maneuvering on rugged terrain.
Bucket and arm digging forces are substantial, rated at 55,530 lbf and 37,090 lbf respectively, with Auto Power-Boost increasing these forces to 60,700 lbf and 40,690 lbf, supporting powerful digging and material handling operations. The cab boasts a pressurized climate-controlled environment for operator comfort, while service intervals are optimized with 5,000-hour hydraulic oil changes and 2,000-hour filter replacements, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Overall, the Link-Belt 460 X2 combines high productivity, efficiency, and durability for demanding excavation projects.
