Link-Belt’s 370 X4S Excavator Features an Electronically Controlled Hydraulic Pump System
LBX Co.’s new Link-Belt 370 X4S hydraulic excavator features advanced technology, including Digital Level, Dynamic Stability Assist, Height and Depth Alarm, and Payload.
The heart of these machines lies in its electronically controlled hydraulic pump system and the SSC (Spool Stroke Control) system. This innovative combination enhances efficiency and control, while the Isuzu AQ-6HK1X Final Tier 4 engine, known for its fuel economy, powers the machine. Notably, the 370 achieves up to 7 percent improved fuel consumption without requiring a Diesel Particulate Filter, eliminating the need for maintenance or replacement. Operators can select four power modes -- Speed Priority, Power, Eco, and Lift, allowing them to optimize power, precision, and fuel savings for each task, resulting in enhanced cost-effectiveness.
Designed for extended operation with minimal maintenance interruptions, the 370 features a lengthy 500-hour fuel filter service interval, enabling operators to work longer between filter changes. The DEF tank has a consumption rate of only 2 to 3 percent compared to diesel fuel, allowing for extended operation between refills. All service points are conveniently accessible at ground level and easily opened by hand.
Inside the cab, a high-definition, 10-inch LCD monitor features an anti-glare coating for clear visibility in all lighting conditions. The monitor can be customized to display essential information, including custom hydraulic work tool names, system and machine warning messages, SCR auto regeneration status, in-cab pressure controls, and WAVES (Wide Angle Visual Enhancement System) provides a 270° view around the machine.
The 370 provides a spacious cab with ROPS and FOPS Level 1 certification. Ample legroom, a high back, tilting, and a heated seat contribute to a work environment that promotes relaxation and focus for operators working long hours.
