XCMG XGS18K Telescopic Boom Lift

18.28 m max working height, 16.28 m max platform height, 12.05 m max horizontal working range. 8,000 kg dead weight — smallest in the XGS metric telescopic boom lift series. Light enough for heavy-duty pickup-towable trailer transport (GVWR rating dependent) — reduces rental fleet trailer requirements and crew CDL requirements.

Telescopic boom luffing -8° to +73.5° — widest negative range in the XGS K-series (vs -5° on XGS20K, -4° on XGS22K/XGS25K/XGS28K(III)). Below-grade reach suits bridge underside inspection, basement access, dock/quay maintenance, and other workpoints below the machine's parking surface. Flying jib 1,420 mm, -60° to +70°.

300 kg unlimited platform capacity — no dual-mode (limited/unlimited) like the larger 22+ m K-series. Two occupants — smaller 1,830 × 760 × 1,150 mm working platform. Matches typical 1-2 occupant + handheld tool work patterns. ±160° platform rotation, 360° continuous turntable rotation. Working slope tolerance X-5° / Y-5°.

2,360 mm wheelbase — shortest in the XGS metric series (vs 2,500 mm XGS20K/XGS22K). 3,200 mm inside / 4,700 mm outside turning radius. 5.5 km/h max drive speed stowed, 0.6 km/h crawl when boom is up or extended. 45% (24°) max gradeability, 240 mm ground clearance.

9,000 × 2,320 × 2,520 mm stowed dimensions; 7,400 × 2,320 × 2,600 mm transport configuration. Narrower 2,320 mm transport width than larger K-series at 2,490 mm — fits tighter transport corridors. Suits rental fleet operators rotating units between sites and small contractors needing 18 m reach without K-series transport overhead.
