LBX Co. introduced three new Long Front Excavators: the 220, 260, and 370 X4S.
At the core of these machines lies an electronically controlled hydraulic pump system and the industry-recognized SSC (Spool Stroke Control) system. This combination ensures precise control and performance in various applications, from dredging and waterway work to road construction and site remediation.
All three machines demonstrate impressive reach capabilities. The 220 model extends to 50 ft., 10 in., while the 260 takes it to the next level, reaching 59 ft., 9 in. The 370 model boasts the longest reach, extending to 60 ft., 10 in.
Digging deeper isn’t an issue with these machines, as the 220 model can dig up to 39 ft., 5 in., the 260 model can reach 47 ft., 9 in., and the 370 model can dig to a depth of 46 ft., 3 in.
The Isuzu Final Tier 4 engine, known for fuel economy, powers the machines with optimized swing speed. The design eliminates the need for a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), reducing maintenance costs and environmental impact. Operators can choose from four power modes- Speed Priority, Eco, and Lift- to tailor performance to specific tasks, maximizing efficiency and minimizing fuel consumption.
Built for durability and reliability, the Long Fronts feature a lengthy 500-hour fuel filter service interval, enabling operators to work longer between filter changes. Additionally, the DEF tank’s low consumption rate of only 2-3% compared to diesel fuel allows for extended operation between refills. Fuel consumption in SP mode is improved by 4% for the 220 LF, 4.5% for the 260 LF, and 3% for the 370 LF (compared to the X4's SP mode). All service points are conveniently accessible at ground level for easy access.
The spacious cab, equipped with ROPS and FOPS Level 1 certification, provides a comfortable and safe working environment. A high-definition, 10-in. LCD monitor features an anti-glare coating for clear visibility in all lighting conditions. The user-friendly 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 seamless 270° view around the machine. 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.
