Link-Belt Excavator Company has debuted the new 145 X4S hydraulic excavator, a machine designed to improve performance, efficiency and comfort.
At the heart of the 145 X4S is an advanced, electronically controlled hydraulic pump system paired with the industry-renowned Spool Stroke Control (SSC) system. This combination delivers a dramatic leap in efficiency and control, ensuring maximum productivity.
With an operating weight of 14,800 kg, the 145 X4S is powered by the 102-hp Isuzu AR-4JJ1X Tier 4 Final engine, which is known for its exceptional fuel economy.
As well, the 145 X4S can reduce fuel consumption without the need for a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), eliminating DPF-related maintenance and replacement costs. Operators can fine-tune their work with four selectable power modes, including SP, Power, Eco, and Lift, allowing them to optimize for power, precision and ultimate cost-effectiveness.
The excavator features a maximum travel speed of 5.6 km per hour, a 12.5 rpm swing speed, a max digging depth of 5.5 metres and a maximum reach of 8.14 metres.
Advanced tech
The 145 X4S excavator embraces advanced technology, offering optional features such as digital level, height and depth alarm as well as payload management.
The payload management system allows the operator to see ee the bucket volume in real-time, prevent overloading trucks and view loading history. The payload feature also enables the ability to store up to six unique truck capacities and ten bucket dimensions.
The machine also comes precision grade ready, which helps to streamline the installation of precision grade kits and reduces the time and effort required to integrate IMU sensors for essential machine guidance and control systems.
Minimal maintenance
Engineered for extended operation, the 145 X4S maximizes time on the jobsite. A 500-hour fuel filter service interval means operators can work longer between changes. Furthermore, the DEF tank boasts a consumption rate of about 2 to 3 per cent compared to diesel fuel, extending the intervals between refills. For operator convenience, all essential service points are easily accessible at ground level.
Built for total control
Inside the cab, the work environment is designed for focus and relaxation during long shifts. The high-definition, 25-cm LCD monitor features an anti-glare coating for crystal-clear visibility. This user-friendly monitor can be fully customized to display vital information, including custom hydraulic work tool names, system messages and SCR auto regeneration status.
Safety and visibility are enhanced by Wide Angle Visual Enhancement System (WAVES) providing a seamless 230-degree view around the machine.
The spacious cab, with ROPS and FOPS Level 1 certification, features ample legroom and a high-back, tilting and heated seat.
