Engine-Powered Rough Terrain Scissor Lift — 12 m / 18.2 kW
Engine-powered rough terrain scissor lift. 12 m maximum working height, 10 m platform height, 455 kg rated load. 18.2 kW diesel engine at 3,000 rpm. 4,400 kg total weight on a 2,290 mm wheelbase — lightest in the XCMG engine-powered RT scissor lift range. 40 percent grade ability, 200 mm ground clearance. Minimum turning radius 2.3 m inside / 4.8 m outside. Sized for projects where 12 m height is enough and lighter chassis fits transport and site constraints.
The XCMG XG1218RT-AS is an engine-powered rough terrain scissor lift with 12 m maximum working height, 10 m platform height, and 455 kg rated load. Diesel drive on a 4-wheel rough terrain chassis — the smallest in the engine-powered RT scissor lift range.
Powered by an 18.2 kW engine at 3,000 rpm. Total weight is 4,400 kg on a 2,290 mm wheelbase. Minimum turning radius is 2.3 m inside / 4.8 m outside, ground clearance 200 mm, and the chassis climbs 40 percent grades. Lighter chassis class than the 15 m and 18 m RT siblings (XG1523RT 7,250 kg, XG1823RT 8,000 kg) — easier transport on standard flatbed and lower per-trip transit cost for rental fleets running daily site rotations. Suited for projects where 12 m working height is enough and the lighter 4.4-ton chassis fits within site permit and transport constraints. Diesel drive for sites without charging infrastructure or where fuel logistics is simpler than battery management. Sized for outdoor construction maintenance, infrastructure inspection at height, and rental fleet duty on emission-permitted sites. Genuine XCMG parts and authorized service via me-equipment.com.
Four aspects of the XG1218RT-AS that fit it to entry-class engine-powered rough terrain scissor lift work: lightest RT chassis, 12 m reach, diesel drive, and 40 percent grade capability.
4,400 kg total weight — 39 percent lighter than the 15 m XG1523RT sibling (7,250 kg) and 45 percent lighter than the 18 m XG1823RT (8,000 kg). Easier transport on standard flatbed and lower per-trip transit cost for rental fleets running daily site rotations.
12 m maximum working height, 10 m platform height, 455 kg rated load — supports a one-to-two person crew at full platform height. Configured for the entry-class 12 m height range typical of low-rise construction maintenance, infrastructure inspection, and rental fleet duty.
18.2 kW engine at 3,000 rpm. Diesel drive for outdoor sites without charging infrastructure or where fuel logistics is simpler than battery management on the project schedule. Choose XG1218RT-AS over a battery scissor lift when site emission rules permit diesel and fuel supply is established.
2,290 mm wheelbase, 200 mm ground clearance, 40 percent maximum grade ability. Minimum turning radius 2.3 m inside / 4.8 m outside — sized for outdoor construction with uneven surfaces, slopes, and tight maneuvering.
