XCMG XC978E Wheel Loader

4.5 m³ bucket capacity, 7800 kg rated load, 230 kW rated power, 24030 kg operating weight. Production-class 7.5-ton sizing for high-throughput loading: mine haul-truck filling, port stockpile shuttle, logistics terminal handling. Larger than the XC958U flagship (3.1 m³ / 168 kW / 19.4 t), smaller than the XC988 (4.5 m³ / 250 kW / 27.4 t).

XCMG positions the XC978 series as a direct contender to imported CAT, KOMATSU, and VOLVO 7-ton class loaders. Same envelope and bucket class, with stated objective of lower acquisition and maintenance cost vs imported equivalents while delivering equivalent production output for ports, logistics, and large mine operations.

The "E" suffix designates European emission specification compliance. Suited for project work in European jurisdictions and other markets accepting European emission certification. Distinct emission profile from the XC978 base model — choose XC978E for European emission regulatory constraints.

8.85 m × 3.62 m × 3.23 m envelope on 3.55 m wheelbase, 230 kW power. Sized for port stockpile shuttle cycles where each load cycle moves 4.5 m³ of bulk material. Direct sibling to the XC975-EV electric variant — same bucket class, suited for ports and logistics terminals where diesel power is acceptable. Switch to XC975-EV for emission-restricted port operations.

Bucket, hydraulic, and chassis components share core part numbers with other XC9 series loaders (XC938U, XC948U, XC958U, XC958E, XC988, XC998) — lower inventory carrying cost for fleet operators running mixed-size XCMG XC9 rosters.
