Not every construction project requires a large excavator. For landscaping, residential construction, garden renovation, and small-scale excavation, a compact machine can often be a more practical choice.
The SHANDING XG12E mini excavator is designed for projects where machine size, working flexibility, and operating performance all matter. With an operating weight of 1,200 kg, a Kubota D722 engine, and a compact transport width of 930 mm, the XG12E offers a practical configuration for a variety of smaller job sites.
The SHANDING XG12E is equipped with a Kubota D722 diesel engine. This three-cylinder, water-cooled engine has a displacement of 0.719 L and a rated speed of 2,500 rpm.
Its maximum power is 10.2 kW, equivalent to approximately 13.9 horsepower. For buyers comparing compact excavators, the engine model, power output, and maintenance requirements are important factors to consider.
The Kubota D722 gives the XG12E a clearly defined engine configuration for everyday excavation and landscaping applications.
One of the main features of the XG12E is its compact machine size. With a transport width of just 930 mm and a transport length of 2,700 mm, it can be considered for projects where access space is limited.
The machine has an operating weight of 1,200 kg and a transport height of 2,280 mm. Its 900 mm dozer blade width and 180 mm track shoe width are also useful specifications for buyers evaluating the machine's overall dimensions.
These compact measurements make the XG12E worth considering for garden work, residential renovation, narrow access areas, and other small-scale construction projects. Actual site access should always be checked against the machine's full dimensions.
Although compact in size, the XG12E offers a range of working dimensions for smaller excavation tasks.
Its maximum digging depth is 1,600 mm, while its maximum digging radius reaches 2,900 mm. The maximum digging height is 1,800 mm, with a maximum dumping height of 1,780 mm.
The machine is equipped with a 380 mm bucket and a bucket capacity of 0.02 m³. Its maximum bucket digging force is 14 kN, providing buyers with useful information when assessing its suitability for different soil conditions and working tasks.
The boom length is 1,520 mm, and the arm length is 800 mm. The swing angle is 45° to the left and 55° to the right, helping operators position the working equipment for different digging directions.
The hydraulic system is another important part of an excavator's overall performance. The XG12E features a main hydraulic pump flow of 20 L/min, with a main pump pressure of 25 MPa and an operating pressure of 20 MPa.
The travel motor displacement is 315 ml, while the swing motor displacement is 280 ml.
For movement, the machine has a travel speed of 2 km/h and a gradeability of 30°. Its ground pressure is 35 kPa.
These specifications help buyers understand the machine's hydraulic configuration and operating characteristics when comparing different compact excavator models.
