Link Belt X3- The Ideal Excavator For Your Job

The excavator is a heavy-duty machine that is used in many industry sectors, like construction, mining, landscaping etc. It is mainly used for digging, but when equipped with other attachments, the excavator can do a lot of things. There are many excavator models on the market, designed and produced by well-known manufacturers. One reputable manufacturer of excavators is Link-Belt. Recently, Link-Belt introduced its new X3 excavator on the market. The following text will highlight some of the reasons why this new excavator model is the ideal machine for your job.

Productivity. The new X3 excavator from Link-Belt is faster than ever. When compared with the previous X2 Series, the new X3 excavator comes with enhanced hydraulics and optimized attachment. As a result, this excavator is far more productive and offers 3% – 5% cycle time improvement.

Fuel Savings. When it comes to fuel efficiency, the X3 excavator is a leader on the market. It consumes less fuel for about 5% to 10% when compared with the previous models, and also it is designed with three idle modes that reduce the fuel waste. Auto-idle, auto-idle shutdown, and one-touch idle, all these idle modes are included in the new X3 excavator with a purpose to save you more money on the job site.

Powerful Engine. The X3 comes with fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly Tier 4 Isuzu engine. New innovative cooling package keeps the engine cool and smooth, while the redesigned EGR system cools the hot exhaust gasses so that they can be mixed with fresh air before being released into the environment. This way, the level of harmful gasses in the air is significantly reduced. A new variable geometry turbo feature (VGT) keeps the combustion process well optimized at low rpm, and a diesel particulate diffuser reduces the particulate matter for meeting the Tier 4 standards.

Serviceability. Like the previous models, the new Link-Belt X3 excavator is easy for service and maintenance. With ground level access to all filters, any repair or service can be easily done. What is new is that the fuse box can be easily located, and the A/C intake filter is installed on the outside for easy access. Gas dampers are included so that the engine hood can be raised more easily.

Precision. Link-Belt X3 is easy to operate and control. New joysticks are included for improved machine control. Easy to push and large enough triggers on the joysticks enable the operator to complete the tasks more precisely. The new joysticks also reduce the operator fatigue.

Durability. This excavator is built to last with strength and durability in mind. Like the previous models, the new X3 has a one piece turntable reinforced bearing tub, welded on the top to provide enough strength and durability. It comes with a optimized attachment with thicker plated steel.

Comfort. More comfort for the operator is what the new X3 excavator can guarantee. With new and redesigned cabin, the operator feels more comfortable even when working in the most difficult terrains. The new cabin offers more foot space, increased visibility, and better AC system. The new 7-inch LED monitor makes it easy to control the excavator movements, while seating in a incredibly comfortable and adjustable KAB seat.

Safety. The Link-Belt X3 excavator takes safety to higher level with its new reinforced and durable ROPS cabin that satisfies the ISO standards. The movements of the excavator can be easily monitored by a rear-view camera. There is also an option for side-view camera. Furthermore, two mirrors are added at the rear of the machine for increased safety.
