Link-Belt 240 X2 MH material handler introduced

LBX has announced the availability of their new Link-Belt 240 X2 material handler. Designed for speciality applications such as scrap/material-handling, demolition, waste transfer and site prep, these new machines include the option of linkage- or gooseneck-style attachments. Units can be equipped with a variety of tools like dangling magnets and orange peel grapples for scrap yards, trash grapples for construction and demolition debris, buckets for handling material fines, or shears and processors to handle tougher tasks.

Operators will have excellent visibility into truck bodies or containers such as rail cars with a cab that raises hydraulically to a full height of 18-feet 2-inches while still allowing for easy transport from job-to-job with a weight of approximately 70,000 pounds. 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 further help prevent damage in harsh applications, the 240 has thick upper belly pans.

The 240 is also factory-equipped with auxiliary hydraulics for open/close/rotate to handle the needs of tools in its class. For scrap applications, these units are prepped from the factory for easy installation of gensets, which includes plumbing and a hydraulic motor to run a generator. A solid-state controller and generator are also available from the factory, or a Baldor generator and Hubbell/Ohio brand controllers are available through LBX to run magnets. Additionally, the 240 can be equipped with 600 mm flat pads for minimal surface damage or triple grouser shoes in widths of 600, 700 or 800 mm.
