Overview
The XCMG XE260GM is a 26.65-ton material handling excavator built around a high-strength box-section working device, a 6 m boom and a 4 m arm. XCMG positions it for scrap yards, timber handling, portside bulk work and other jobs where a standard bucket is less useful than a grapple.
The machine is designed for long reach and high lifting force rather than pure earthmoving. XCMG states that the working device, reinforced cylinder support and hydraulic system are matched to keep the grapple productive under high load.
