XCMG XCT100 Load Chart PDF + Specifications

The XCMG XCT100 is a 100-tonne truck crane developed for heavy construction, infrastructure, bridge erection, industrial installation and other lifting applications requiring strong road mobility together with a long telescopic boom. The model has appeared in several versions and regional specifications over its production life, so boom length, engine type and emissions configuration can differ between machines. A widely distributed XCT100 specification uses a five-axle carrier, a six-section main boom of approximately 61 m and a maximum lifting moment of about 4,380 kN·m.

Lifting Capacity and Main Boom

Maximum rated lifting capacity is 100 tonnes, with a minimum rated working radius of approximately 3 m. The commonly published XCT100 configuration uses a six-section telescopic boom, with the basic boom measuring approximately 13.1 m and the fully extended boom reaching around 61 m.

Maximum lifting moment on the basic boom is approximately 4,380 kN·m, giving the crane strong short-radius lifting performance within the 100-tonne truck-crane class.

Some later or market-specific XCT100 variants use slightly different boom systems, including versions with boom lengths around 61.2 m or longer. For this reason, individual machine specifications should be matched to the exact production version where possible.

Jib and Maximum Reach

The XCT100 can be fitted with a lattice jib to extend its working height and radius. In one common configuration, maximum main-boom-plus-jib length is approximately 79.1 m.

The jib can be installed at 0°, 15° or 30° offset angles, giving additional flexibility when lifting above structures or working at longer radii.

Hoisting and Slewing Performance

The main and auxiliary winches provide maximum single-line speeds of approximately 130 m/min under no-load conditions.

Maximum slewing speed is about 2 rpm, allowing relatively quick repositioning while still providing controlled movement for precision lifting.

The boom takes approximately 420 seconds to telescope fully, while boom elevation takes around 60–70 seconds, depending on the specification version.

Five-Axle Carrier

The widely published XCT100 uses a five-axle road carrier, allowing the weight of the crane, boom and upperstructure to be distributed across a relatively long chassis.

Typical transport dimensions are approximately 15.3 m long, 3.0 m wide and 3.82 m high, with a travel-state weight of about 55 tonnes. Published axle loads are approximately 10 tonnes on each of the first two axles, 13 tonnes on each of the third and fourth axles and around 9 tonnes on the fifth axle.

Carrier Engine

Depending on market and emissions specification, the XCT100 has been offered with different carrier engines. Commonly published options include the Weichai WP12.430E40 and Cummins ISM11E4 440.

Rated output is approximately 316 kW for the Weichai or 318 kW for the Cummins, with maximum torque around 2,060–2,080 Nm. These engines provide the power needed for highway travel as well as low-speed manoeuvring around construction sites.

Upperstructure Engine

Some XCT100 versions use a separate crane upperstructure engine. One documented configuration uses a TAD722VE diesel engine rated at approximately 174 kW at 2,300 rpm, producing around 854 Nm at 1,400 rpm.

Because engine arrangements differ between production versions, this upper-engine specification should not automatically be applied to every XCT100.

Road Performance

Maximum road speed is approximately 80 km/h on the common five-axle version, while some later variants are rated as high as 90 km/h.

Maximum gradeability is approximately 45%, minimum ground clearance is around 312–326 mm, and minimum turning diameter is about 23 m. Typical approach and departure angles are approximately 18° and 13° respectively.

Outrigger System

The crane uses four hydraulically operated outriggers to provide a stable working base.

A typical full outrigger footprint is approximately 7.7 m longitudinally by 7.9 m transversely. This wide support base allows the crane to use its full 360° lifting chart when correctly configured and levelled.

Hydraulic and Control Systems

The XCT100 uses electro-hydraulic controls for boom telescoping, luffing, hoisting and slewing. XCMG developed the XCT series with an emphasis on smooth combined movements, fuel efficiency and accurate load handling.

The hydraulic system is designed to provide high operating speed during light-load movements while retaining fine control when positioning heavy loads at long boom lengths.

Safety and Operator Environment

The crane incorporates electronic load monitoring, boom angle and length sensing, hydraulic safety valves and operating-limit protection.

Later XCT100 versions also feature improved operator and driver cabs with larger windows, better visibility, air conditioning and camera systems. XCMG has promoted rear-view and working-area cameras together with multi-colour warning systems as part of the crane’s safety package.

Model Variations

The XCT100 designation covers several generations and market-specific versions, so specifications should be treated carefully. One five-axle version uses a 61 m boom and 55-tonne travel weight, while the XCT100_Y is a distinctly different four-axle export variant with a 50.5 m telescopic boom, 8×4×4 drivetrain and 276 kW WP10H375E50 engine. Later derivatives such as the XCT100L7_1 use a seven-section 68 m boom.

For a database entry titled simply XCMG XCT100, I would therefore use the five-axle, approximately 61 m boom specification unless the machine being documented is specifically identified as XCT100_Y, XCT100L7_1, XCT100_S, or another variant.

Overall Assessment

The XCMG XCT100 is best described as a 100-tonne, five-axle truck crane with a six-section telescopic boom of approximately 61 m, maximum boom-and-jib length around 79 m, basic-boom lifting moment of approximately 4,380 kN·m, 130 m/min hoist speed and road speed of about 80 km/h. Its combination of road mobility, long boom, high lifting moment and relatively fast working speeds makes it suitable for general heavy construction, bridge work, industrial lifting and infrastructure projects.
