Description
Technical Parameters

Standard Configuration

01/

High-Efficiency Power System
The machine is powered by an original Cummins QSB7 turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 169 kW at 2050 rpm. The engine adopts high-pressure common rail fuel injection technology and intelligent fuel-saving control, ensuring strong torque output while reducing fuel consumption.
The engine is equipped with:

  • Three-stage high-efficiency air filtration system
  • Fuel pre-heating device
  • Heavy-duty cooling system
  • High-temperature and dust-resistant design

These features ensure stable operation in extreme environments such as deserts, mining sites, and tropical regions.

02/

Advanced Hydraulic System
The XE305D uses a complete Kawasaki hydraulic system, including the main pump and control valve. Its load-sensing technology accurately matches hydraulic flow with working demands, providing:

  • Fast hydraulic response
  • Smooth compound movements
  • Stable pressure output
  • Reduced fuel consumption

The hydraulic system reaches a maximum working pressure of 32 MPa, while the bucket digging force reaches 198 kN, enabling efficient excavation of hard soil and weathered rock.

03/

Reinforced Working Equipment
The excavator is equipped with:

  • 6.2 m heavy-duty boom
  • 2.8 m reinforced arm
  • 1.4 m³ wear-resistant rock bucket

All structural components are optimized through CAE simulation and manufactured from high-strength steel. Key stress points are reinforced to improve resistance to fatigue, twisting, and impact during continuous heavy-duty operations.

04/

Heavy-Duty Undercarriage
The reinforced X-frame undercarriage offers outstanding structural strength and stability. It includes:

  • High-strength widened track shoes
  • Reinforced rollers and carrier rollers
  • Durable drive sprockets
  • Dual-speed travel system up to 5.5 km/h

The robust undercarriage provides excellent traction and stability on slopes, muddy terrain, and rocky mining areas.

05/

Comfortable and Safe Cab
The upgraded operator cabin is designed for comfort and safety with:

  • ROPS and FOPS certified protection
  • Dustproof and noise-insulated structure
  • Automatic air conditioning and heating
  • Suspension shock-absorbing seat
  • Bluetooth entertainment system
  • Ergonomic pilot control joysticks

Three operating modes-Heavy Duty, Standard, and Eco-allow operators to adjust performance according to different working conditions.

06/

Easy Maintenance Design
Maintenance is simplified through:

  • Wide-opening engine hood
  • Centralized lubrication points
  • Easily accessible filters and hydraulic components
  • 280-liter fuel tank supporting over 24 hours of continuous operation

This design minimizes downtime and improves service efficiency.
