Product Features

Five aspects of the XC968 that fit it to 6.5-ton class XC9 flagship work: 3.5 m³ bucket sizing, XC968-EV electric sibling pairing, mid-large production loader role, cross-sector application fit, and parts compatibility across the XCMG fleet.

01
Configuration

3.5 m³ bucket, 6500 kg rated load, 178 kW power

3.5 m³ bucket capacity, 6500 kg rated load, 178 kW rated power, 20000 kg operating weight. Mid-large production sizing — sits between the XC958 (3.2 m³ / 162 kW / 17.08 t) and XC978E (4.5 m³ / 230 kW / 24 t). 18 percent more rated load than the XC958 series (5500 kg) on the same 3.5 m³ bucket as the larger XC958E.

02
Diesel/Electric Pairing

XC968-EV electric sibling — diesel/electric platform pairing

XC968 (diesel) and XC968-EV (electric) share the same 3.5 m³ bucket size and 3.45 m wheelbase. Choose XC968 for diesel power markets where electric infrastructure is not in place; choose XC968-EV for emission-restricted port, indoor cement plant, or low-emission zone work. Operator skills and chassis layout transfer between the two variants.

03
Series Positioning

Innovative wheel loader — XC9 series flagship lineage

Per XCMG, XC968 is a new generation of XC9 series flagship product. Innovative wheel loader developed based on extensive market and technical research, introducing world-leading design and manufacturing technology for high performance and cost effectiveness.

04
Application Fit

Cross-sector application fit — construction, mining, ports, infrastructure

Suited for general construction loading, mid-large mine production work, port stockpile transfer, infrastructure project loading, and road construction support. Broad 6.5-ton-class application range — fleet workhorse for contractors with diverse project portfolios.

05
Parts Support

Parts compatibility across the XCMG XC9 series

Bucket, hydraulic, and chassis components share core part numbers with other XC9 series loaders (XC958U, XC958E, XC978E, XC988, XC998) — lower inventory carrying cost for fleet operators running mixed-size XCMG XC9 rosters.
