LBX Co. Introduces Link-Belt 240 X2 Material Handler

LBX Co. LLC, Lexington, Ky., has announced the availability of the new Link-Belt 240 X2 Material Handler for specialty applications, such as scrap/material-handling, demolition, waste transfer and site prep.

 

With the option of linkage or gooseneck-style attachments, this 70,000-pound machine can be equipped with a variety of tools, including dangling magnets and orange-peel grapples for scrap yards, trash grapples for construction and demolition debris, buckets for handling material fines and shears and processors to handle tougher tasks.

 

The machine’s cab rises hydraulically to a full height of 18 feet, 2 inches, allowing for excellent visibility into truck bodies or containers such as rail cars, the company says. An optional cab anti-interference device is available to prevent the attachment tool from damaging the cab when it’s positioned at its furthermost point, and an operator protective guard is standard on the front of the cab. To also help prevent damage in harsh applications, the 240 has thick upper belly pans.

 

The 240 material handler is factory-equipped with auxiliary hydraulics for open/close/rotate to handle the needs of tools in its class, according to the press release. For scrap applications, the 240 is also prepped from the factory for easy installation of gensets, which includes plumbing and hydraulic motor to run a generator. A solid-state controller and generator are available from the factory, or a Baldor generator and Hubbell/Ohio brand controllers are available through LBX to run magnets, the company says.

 

Additionally, the 240 can be equipped with 600-millimeter flat pads for minimal surface damage or triple grouser shoes in widths of 600, 700 or 800 millimeters.
