Overview
The XCMG XC9108 is an ultra-large wheel loader developed as XCMG’s new-generation high-end model for heavy-duty applications. According to XCMG, it adopts advanced international design and manufacturing technology combined with extensive market research, delivering high performance with a streamlined appearance and major improvements in reliability, safety, comfort and serviceability over the previous generation.
XCMG lists it for large open-pit mines, large coal yards, rail freight, large sand-and-gravel yards, batching plants, steel plants, power plants, coking plants, coal chemical plants, infrastructure and municipal work, and stone quarries.

Core Specifications (China Configuration)
The XCMG China page publishes these four rows. The bucket capacity and dimension figures below come from industry spec sheets (d1cm), which match the official values where they overlap.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Rated load | 11,000 kg |
| Rated power | 299 kW |
| Operating weight | 35,000 ± 500 kg |
| Dump height | 3,250 mm |
Note: XCMG’s Australian site lists the engine power as 277 kW @ 2,100 rpm, against 299 kW on the China site. The difference most likely reflects a different emissions configuration; the two figures have not been merged.
Additional Published Parameters (Industry Sources)
The following rows are from d1cm spec sheets rather than the XCMG China page; the four official values above match exactly.
| Parameter | Value |

| Bucket capacity | 6.2 m³ |
| Engine model | Cummins X12 |
| Rated power / speed | 299 / 2,100 kW/r/min |
| Travel speeds 1st–4th (F/R) | 6.5 / 12 / 20 / 37 km/h |
| Overall dimensions (L×W×H) | 9,800 × 3,600 × 3,770 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,800 mm |
| Track | 2,500 mm |
| Dump reach @ 45° | 1,400 mm |
| Min. turning radius (outside tyre centre) | ≤ 6,480 mm |
| Boom lift time | ≤ 6 s |
| Total cycle time (lift-dump-lower) | ≤ 11.5 s |
| Tyres | 875/65R29 low-pressure wide-base radial |
Key Features
XCMG groups the XC9108’s selling points into eight areas.
Engine
- Electronic-injection, turbocharged, air-to-air intercooled engine with electric start and shut-off.
- Three-stage air filtration and multi-stage fuel filtration for dusty conditions; low fuel consumption and low emissions.
- Hydraulically driven, electronically controlled intelligent cooling: the fan adjusts speed to each system’s cooling demand, with a manual reverse function for radiator cleaning.
Transmission
- Electro-controlled transmission with four forward and four reverse gears, automatic shifting, KD (kick-down) button, neutral-start protection and gear-lock function.
- Large-capacity torque converter with high transmission efficiency; the implement joystick integrates FNR direction switching and KD for one-handed operation and shorter loading cycles.
Axles & Running Gear
- High-load wet axles with maintenance-free multi-disc wet brakes; front-axle differential lock for poor ground conditions.
- 875/65R29 low-pressure wide-base radial tyres with low rolling resistance and reduced wear; oscillating rear axle for rough terrain.
Hydraulics
- Load-sensing, fully variable hydraulic system that supplies pressure and flow on demand, eliminating relief losses.
- Dual-pump confluence technology with steering priority; flow-amplified, load-sensing articulated steering.
- Combined mechanical and hydraulic steering limiters to reduce steering shock.
Brakes
- Full-hydraulic dual-circuit wet service brakes and caliper-disc parking brake, with independent front/rear circuits and low-pressure alarms; emergency and parking braking combined in one system.
Cab
- New XCMG FOPS & ROPS pressurised cab, spacious with excellent visibility and sealing.
- Silicone-oil dampers mount the cab to the frame to cut vibration; air-cushion composite suspension seat; intelligent high-capacity heating and air conditioning.
Frame & Structures
- Structural optimisation based on finite-element analysis, load-spectrum-based design and fatigue testing for heavy-duty loading; stress concentrations eliminated for rough-ground durability.
Serviceability & Working Equipment
- Electric full-tilt rear hood giving easy access to air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, oil fill and coolers; transmission filter and fill port routed out for convenient service.
- Centralised fuse box, remote centralized drains and pressure-test points.
- Optimised Z-bar reverse six-linkage (single rocker, short tie-rod, horizontal lift cylinders) with automatic bucket levelling at any height, removing the need to re-level between passes.
Applications
Large open-pit mines, large coal yards, rail freight, large sand-and-gravel yards, batching plants, steel plants, power plants, coking plants, coal chemical plants, infrastructure and municipal work, and stone quarries.
Data Source
XCMG official China product page: XC9108 and the official XC9108 brochure PDF, fetched on 2026-10-07, with additional rows from d1cm industry spec sheets (which match the official values where they overlap) and the XCMG Australia site. The power-rating difference between the China site and the Australian site is noted above and the values are not merged. This page covers the diesel XC9108; the battery-electric XC9108-EV is listed separately by XCMG.
Specifications and configurations may vary depending on options, batch and regional regulations. XCMG reserves the right to make changes without prior notice; final figures must be confirmed after order placement.
