XCMG XCA100_E

First showcased at Bauma 2016 in Munich, Germany, the XCMG XCA100E is a versatile 100-ton all terrain crane designed and tested to meet stringent EN13000, FEM, CE, and E-mark standards. Development of the XCA100E began in 2014, with a particular focus on enhancing the durability and reliability of its single retractable hydraulic cylinder. After rigorous testing at the XCMG Heavy Engineering Center, where the crane achieved over 50,000 cycles of boom telescoping—an improvement over initial 10,000-cycle tests—the XCA100E emerged as a robust solution for heavy-duty lifting applications.

The crane features a seven-section U-shaped cross-section boom extending from 11.7 meters to 60 meters. When combined with several jib configurations—including fixed jibs up to 32.1 meters and a 2.9-meter independent jib head—it can achieve a maximum lifting height of 88 meters. The XCA100E is designed for high stability with its H-shaped outrigger arrangement, hydraulically controlled outriggers, and electronic consoles, ensuring precise setup and safe operations on uneven ground.

Powering the crane are two efficient engines meeting Stage IV/Tier4F emission standards: a Benz OM934LA engine on the superstructure and a Daimler OM471LA engine on the chassis. The advanced hydraulic system features a load-sensitive piston pump and electro-hydraulic controls, enabling smooth, precise movements. This system provides steady hoisting speeds of 2.5 m/min and slewing speeds of 0.1°/s, ensuring fine control for delicate or heavy lifts.

Designed with mobility and operator convenience in mind, the crane uses Michelin high-performance tires and includes an in-house developed independent suspension system. Four steering modes—front-axle, rear-axle, crab, and steep turning—provide excellent maneuverability, with a minimum turning radius of 7.9 meters. The crane achieves a maximum travel speed of 80 km/h and can tackle slopes up to 60%, delivering excellent traction and terrain adaptability.

Additional safety features include a load moment indicator (LMI), anti-two block system, anemometer, hydraulic safety valves, and various alarms to prevent overloads and ensure operator safety. The cab is ergonomically designed with adjustable controls, air conditioning, heating, and safety glass to support comfortable and efficient long-shift operations.

Counterweight flexibility is another strength of the XCA100E, with multiple configurations available up to 28.7 tons to suit different lifting conditions. Altogether, the XCA100E delivers an impressive combination of strength, advanced technology, operator comfort, and robust engineering, making it a competitive solution for demanding lifting jobs in construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects.
