17.8 m Electric Articulating Boom Lift — 45% Gradeability
17.8 m electric self-propelled articulating boom lift, sized between the 16-meter and 20-meter classes. 15.8 m platform height, 9.3 m working range, 8.4 m up-and-over clearance, 256 kg lift capacity, 2 occupants. Three-segment boom with 1.42 m fly jib. 355° turntable, 160° platform rotation. 4.8 km/h stowed travel, 0.6 km/h raised, 45 percent gradeability. 1,100 mm inside / 3,900 mm outside turning radius, zero turntable tailswing. 7,600 kg dead weight, 2,060 mm wheelbase.
The XCMG XGA18ACKII is a 17.8 m electric self-propelled articulating boom lift sized between the 16-meter and 20-meter classes — built for indoor MEP install, mid-rise façade work, and warehouse maintenance where the 16 m class is short but the 20 m class is overspec.
15.8 m platform height, 9.3 m working range, 8.4 m up-and-over clearance, 256 kg lift capacity, 2 occupants. Three-segment boom with 1.42 m fly jib: first boom -11 to +65°, second boom -4 to +73°, fly jib -65 to +70°. 355° turntable rotation, 160° platform rotation. 4.8 km/h stowed travel, 0.6 km/h raised. 1,100 mm inside / 3,900 mm outside turning radius, zero turntable tailswing. 45 percent gradeability — 50 percent higher slope rating than the 16-meter sibling XGA16ACKII (30%). 7,600 kg dead weight, 2,060 mm wheelbase. Battery-electric drivetrain for indoor and emission-limited project sites.
Five aspects of the XGA18ACKII that fit it to between-class 17.8 m articulating boom lift work: working envelope, 45 percent slope rating, three-segment boom plus fly jib, zero-tailswing geometry, and XCMG parts support.
17.8 m maximum working height delivers 15.8 m platform height and 9.3 m horizontal working range — sized for projects where the 16-meter class is short on reach but the 20-meter class is overspec on price and chassis weight. 8.4 m up-and-over clearance, 256 kg lift capacity, 2 occupants.
45 percent maximum gradeability, compared with 30 percent on the 16-meter XGA16ACKII sibling — 50 percent higher slope rating. Suited for outdoor sloped construction sites, road verges, and uneven terrain access that exceeds the slope envelope of indoor-tuned 16-meter boom lifts.
Three-segment boom geometry with 1.42 m fly jib (larger than the 1.24 m jib on the XGA16ACKII). First boom -11 to +65°, second boom -4 to +73°, fly jib -65 to +70°. Delivers 8.4 m up-and-over clearance for working across rooftop equipment, parapets, and façade obstructions.
Zero turntable tailswing when stowed. 1,100 mm inside / 3,900 mm outside turning radius. 160° platform rotation. Compact maneuvering envelope despite the larger 17.8 m working height — useful for outdoor construction sites with tight access lanes between formwork, scaffolding, and material storage.
Platform components, control valves, boom pins, and chassis parts share core part numbers with other XCMG aerial work platforms — lower inventory carrying cost for rental fleet operators running mixed XCMG rosters.
