The register lists here 4 versions with 38.8 to 40.3 kW rated output, 2,180 to 3,064 cm³ displacement from four-cylinders, operating weights of 7,000 to 8,430 kg and torques of 184 to 210 Nm at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,100 rpm. The engines come from Isuzu's 4JG1 and 4JB1 ranges.

Midi excavators in this weight class are used in general earthworks, utility installation and municipal work, sitting between mini and standard excavators; Link-Belt competes here with Kubota, Takeuchi and Case, benefiting from its Sumitomo affiliation for undercarriage and hydraulic components.

On Link-Belt midi excavators, the standard bucket comes off only with tools as fitted from the factory; a mechanical or hydraulic quick coupler is available as a retrofit and speeds up changes between a trenching and a digging bucket. Running a hydraulic hammer or sorting grapple additionally needs a second, independently regulated hydraulic line with its own return.

On a used purchase, the condition of the tracks and rollers, play in the slew ring, the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders and the service history of the Isuzu engine including the injection pump count; spare parts run through the Link-Belt dealer network.
