In the world of modern demolition, precision and power are no longer optional – they are essential. The XCMG XE500EHR, a purpose-built high-reach demolition excavator, steps boldly into this arena with a blend of brute strength, intelligent engineering, and operator-centric design. Built for the toughest tear-downs and engineered for the highest structures, it delivers the capability and confidence demanded by today’s demolition professionals.
Power With Purpose
At the heart of the XE500EHR is the formidable QSX12 engine, producing 321 kW at 1800 rpm and a massive 2034 N·m of torque at 1400 rpm . This setup ensures high torque at low speed, ideal for controlled demolition where measured, responsive force is crucial. Enhanced combustion efficiency means lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption, meeting the industry's growing sustainability expectations without compromising performance.
Strength Meets Finesse
Demolition is rarely just about raw power, often it's about controlled force. The XE500EHR’s shears, weighing 2600 kg, deliver a break force of 1085–1610 kN with an opening width of 1100 mm, providing both strength and flexibility for cutting through a range of structural materials. Ground contact is equally assured: a ground pressure of 97.2 kPa and tumbler distance of 4756 mm create a stable base, essential when operating at full reach.
Operator Visibility, Safety, and Control
One of the machine’s standout features is the 30° tilting operator cabin, engineered to give unmatched upward visibility during high-reach work. This tilt system reduces operator fatigue, enhances situational awareness, and significantly improves jobsite safety, especially when navigating complex demolition sequences.
