The 2024 XCMG 27U mini excavator is equipped with all the essential features expected in its class. With a variable angle boom that can swing 75° to the left and 55° to the right, a reduced swing tail, and standard rubber tracks, this machine excels in confined spaces such as indoors, basements, gardens, and community landscapes.
Powered by a reliable 20.7 hp Kubota engine, the 27U is designed to handle tough jobs across various operating conditions. Its versatility is enhanced by compatibility with multiple attachments, which can be quickly installed using a manual quick coupler, allowing for efficient operation at the job site.
- Compact Machine with Excellent Performance
Developed with the principles of safety, reliability, efficiency, and comfort, the 27U hydraulic excavator provides added value for the operator. New features enhance productivity, versatility, and cost-effectiveness:
– The Kubota T4F engine, combined with a load-sensing hydraulic system, ensures efficient fuel economy.
– This compact, short-tail excavator is versatile enough to tackle various tasks in challenging job sites, including demolition, landscaping, earthmoving, and material handling.
– Grouped service points are easily accessible from the ground, simplifying maintenance and reducing potential downtime.
- Angle Boom
The 27U’s boom swing angles (75° to the left and 55° to the right) provide operators with increased confidence and efficiency, especially during complex tasks like parallel wall digging or navigating narrow spaces.
- Designed for Easy Transportation
With a Set of buckets, a hammer, and rubber tracks, the XCMG 27U weighs less than 6,200 lb. The large, accessible tow rings facilitate easy transitions between job sites.
- Auxiliary Lines and Coupler Pipelines
The XE27U is equipped with multiple programmable two-way proportional auxiliary lines and quick-coupler piping, meeting nearly all attachment needs.
- Safety Valves
To enhance safety, the 27U includes standard boom cylinder safety valves, arm cylinder valves, and a dozer holding valve to protect the operator and those nearby during operations.
- Operator Comfort
The 27U provides a spacious and comfortable work environment for operators. Its ergonomic control layout, travel levers with pedals, and adjustable armrests are designed to reduce fatigue and increase productivity. The cab features sound insulation, a radio, a stereo, and a suspension seat. Standard electric proportional joysticks with roller controls allow precise handling of attachments, while a 7-inch colour LCD display provides an intuitive interface that can quickly switch to attachment mode. The system supports eight languages and includes various automatic functions such as intelligent fault diagnosis, maintenance prompts, and fuel-filling alerts to effectively minimize maintenance time.
- One-Sided Engine Maintenance
The 27U is engineered for lower maintenance costs and longer service intervals, resulting in greater machine availability on-site. Skilled XCMG-trained technicians are also available for additional support when needed.
Designed for easy service access, the 27U features a single access point for daily maintenance of all main components, as well as a fuel level gauge that can be checked through a lockable cap.
The swing motor, slewing bearing, and angle boom cylinder are equipped with centralized lubrication technology while self-lubricating bearings in the boom and arm reduce daily maintenance requirements and further increase machine uptime.
- Safety Features
The hydraulic pipelines and hoses are well-organized, and critical components, such as the arm cylinder, are safeguarded. An integrated front light under the boom helps prevent damage from rocks and debris. The overheat warning system alerts operators when necessary to protect the engine, while continuous rubber tracks minimize damage to paved surfaces. The ignition socket is also covered to withstand rain and dust.
Additionally, safety features include a rotation warning beacon with a buzzer, an emergency stop on the right-hand side, a lock lever, rear mirrors on both sides, a battery disconnect switch, and top lights to ensure the safety of the operator and those around the machine.
