CLEANER SMARTER STRONGER

“THE XC948E IS WELL-POSITIONED TO SUPPORT COMPANIES AIMING TO REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT WHILE BOOSTING SITE PRODUCTIVITY

As sustainability and productivity take centre stage in construction and material handling, XCMG continues to lead the charge with its latest EU Stage V–compliant powerhouse: the XC948E Wheel Loader. Engineered to meet the toughest demands of European worksites, this mid-size loader combines environmental responsibility with high-performance engineering – making it a compelling choice for contractors, quarry operators, and plant rental fleets across the UK and beyond.

Clean Power, Built to Perform

At the heart of the XC948E is a robust Stage V-compliant engine, delivering efficient, low-emission power while maintaining the torque and responsiveness expected of a premium wheel loader. With reduced NOx and particulate emissions, the XC948E meets today’s most stringent environmental regulations – without compromising on performance.

The loader’s transmission and advanced load-sensing hydraulic system offer responsive control, improved fuel efficiency, and greater reliability, especially in demanding material handling environments. Whether working on aggregates, infrastructure, or recycling applications, the XC948E provides the muscle and precision operators need.

Operator Comfort Meets Jobsite Toughness

The XC948E features a modern, fully enclosed cab with ROPS/FOPS protection, air conditioning, and panoramic visibility. The ergonomic control layout, multi-function joystick, and suspension seat help reduce fatigue during long shifts, while the low-noise design ensures a more pleasant and focused working environment.

The machine's structural design emphasises strength and durability – with a reinforced front and rear frame, high ground clearance, and robust axles – ensuring longevity and reliability under heavy workloads.

Smart, Serviceable, and Site-Ready

Ease of maintenance is another hallmark of the XC948E. Wide-opening engine covers, grouped service points, and a modern diagnostic system allow for faster daily checks and reduced downtime. Its advanced telematics-ready interface enables integration into fleet management systems for efficient monitoring and usage tracking.

Built with the Future in Mind

With growing demand across the UK for cleaner, more sustainable equipment, the XC948E is well-positioned to support companies aiming to reduce their carbon footprint while boosting site productivity.

The wheel loader joins XCMG UK's expanding line-up of low-emission construction machinery – including electric forklifts, compact loaders, and Stage V excavators – solidifying the company’s commitment to a greener, more efficient future.
