Overview
The XCMG XGTC30L5 (commonly shortened to XGTC30) is a 30-ton telescopic crawler crane developed by XCMG for demanding foundation-construction environments. It combines high lifting performance with a compact transport envelope and strong site adaptability, and is mainly used for plant construction, bridge erection and foundation work.
The model is available in three configurations: Weichai standard, Yuchai, and the battery-electric XGTC30L5-E.
Model Advantages
- Strong lifting performance: in a typical foundation condition, 34.2 m boom at 14 m radius lifts 5.6 t — stated by XCMG as more than 7% above comparable machines.
- Wide working range: 10.8–42 m five-section main boom, 9 m fixed jib and up to 51 m combined boom length.
- Efficient power: the standard version uses a 221 kW Weichai engine, 3 km/h travel speed and 140 m/min hoist speed.
- Economical transport: transport width under 3 m and maximum single-piece transport weight of 30 t.
- Site adaptability: graded counterweight lifting and small-angle lifting for muddy or low-clearance working areas.
The manufacturer describes this model as one of the industry’s best-selling telescopic crawler cranes. That statement is a manufacturer marketing claim.

Electric Version
The XGTC30L5-E uses a 229 kW·h battery with pure-electric drive for zero emissions and low noise. The electric motor includes automatic start-stop, and the machine supports fast-charging solutions.
Export Version (XCMG Indonesia Data)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Payload | 41,500 kg |
| Rated engine power | 176 kW @ 2,000 rpm |
| Boom length | 10.8–42 m |
| Max. rated load moment | 1,182.5 |
