Genesis’ new LXP 200 and LXP 400 Logix Processors are designed to bring third-member versatility to excavators in the 50,000-100,000-pound range, respectively, according to Steve Letko, the company’s R&D manager.
“The decision to add new models was driven by a couple of factors,” Letko says. “First, was the success of the first two Logix Processors, the LXP 300 and the LXP 500, which prompted a demand for additional size attachments.
“Second, was the ongoing push within the demolition industry for use of ultra-high-reach machines,” he adds. “Demolition contractors knew about the inherent power characteristics and multi-jaw functions of the Logix Processor and wanted to team up that power and versatility in a high-reach machine,” Letko says.
The Logix Processor expands user versatility by allowing extremely quick and safe changeovers between shear, pulverizer and concrete cracker jaw sets and does so while also affording a dramatic boost in power over other multi-jaw attachments, according to Genesis.
The shear jaws feature the same piercing tip and blades as Genesis’ popular GXP mobile shear, making it ideal for heavy structural steel, including I-beams. Bolt-on wear parts --tooth beds for the pulverizer jaw and teeth for the cracker jaw-- are also designed into the new models.
“Our ultimate goal in everything we design is productivity and reduced downtime; this approach to wear parts gives our customers both,” Letko says.
