With an operating weight of 1,200 kg and powered by a Kubota D782 engine delivering 9.8kW, the XE10E combines fuel-efficient reliability with surprising muscle. Whether it’s working in tight residential spaces, navigating narrow urban pathways, or supporting groundworks on remote sites, this zero-tail swing excavator is built to excel where space is limited, but output can’t be compromised.
Smart Design for Smart Work
One of the XE10E’s standout features is its zero-tail swing and retractable undercarriage. With the ability to rotate 360° without overhang, operators gain full control even in the most confined spaces. This level of manoeuvrability not only enhances safety on busy sites but also improves productivity by reducing repositioning time.
The large-angle boom deflection allows the operator to dig parallel to structures like walls and foundations – maximising the working envelope and minimising disruption in tight environments. This makes the XE10E an ideal companion for utilities contractors, interior demolition crews, and hard landscapers working in complex or irregular settings.
Another practical innovation is the automatic two-speed travel motor, which adjusts the speed and torque based on the terrain. This provides 15% more traction, ensuring smoother transitions across variable ground conditions and reducing operator fatigue over extended shifts.
Built to Work, Designed to Last
XCMG has built a strong reputation globally for producing machines that are “Solid to Succeed”, and the XE10E is no exception. From its high-torque hydraulic system to its reliable and efficient powertrain, the machine is engineered for low downtime and long-term durability.
The operator station is designed with comfort in mind – intuitive controls, easy maintenance access, and a well-balanced frame mean operators can stay focused and productive throughout the day. The minimal footprint also makes it easier to transport between jobsites, keeping logistics simple and cost-effective for hire fleets and contractors alike.
Meeting Modern Demands
As urban environments continue to densify and projects grow more complex, the demand for compact machines with serious capability is only increasing. The XE10E not only meets these expectations – it anticipates them.
For plant hire companies, this excavator presents a low-risk, high-utility asset with widespread appeal. Its straightforward operation makes it ideal for short-term hires, training schools, and novice operators, while its robust engineering ensures it can handle tough jobs when needed.
Contractors are also recognising the value of a machine like the XE10E, particularly in sectors where minimising ground disturbance and operating near buildings or utilities are key priorities.
