Key Features and Applications
Compact Tailless Design
The XE18E utilizes a zero-tail-swing structure, ensuring the rear of the machine remains within the track width during rotation. This design minimizes the risk of structural damage when operating in tight spaces like narrow alleys or directly next to building foundations.
Retractable Undercarriage
Equipped with a hydraulic retractable chassis, the track width can be adjusted from 980mm to 1240mm. This provides the flexibility to pass through standard doorways or gates while maintaining a wide footprint for heavy lifting and digging stability.
Deflectable Boom System
The working device features a deflectable boom with a swing angle of 75 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right. This allows the operator to perform trenching or digging tasks parallel to walls and fences without repositioning the entire equipment.
Optimized Maintenance Access
The excavator is designed with fully opening rear and side panels, granting direct access to the engine compartment, hydraulic components, and daily checkpoints. This layout simplifies routine servicing and minimizes equipment downtime.
