NewAvailableYear 2026

28.5-ton soil compactor. Cummins 242 kW six-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, EU Stage III emission compliance. 3,820 mm working width, overall 8,300 × 3,830 × 3,845 mm. Specified for ambient temperature above -15°C and altitude below 4,000 m. Pushes, shovels, and compacts foundation fill on roads, water-conservancy dams, airports, and other large foundation projects. Also fits landfill operation: push and compact solid fill to reduce land take and prolong cell service life.

The XCMG XH285L is a 28.5-ton soil compactor with Cummins 242 kW six-cylinder water-cooled engine, EU Stage III emission compliance, and 3,820 mm working width — sized for pushing, shoveling, and compacting fill on road foundations, dam fills, airport sub-base, and large-scale foundation work.

Operating weight 28,500 kg, dimensions 8,300 × 3,830 × 3,845 mm. Engine rated for ambient temperature above -15°C and altitude below 4,000 m — fits temperate-zone projects but limits use in higher-altitude or extreme cold work without de-rating. Cummins six-cylinder is one of the most widely supported diesel platforms in the construction sector, with parts pool overlap across many Chinese and global equipment lines.

Also suited to landfill push, level, and compaction work — reducing land take and prolonging cell service life. Mid-size soil compactor positioning: heavier than the XS125-class single-drum vibratory rollers but lighter than the 36.5 t XH365L flagship; fits contractors needing soil compactor function without flagship lift class.

Why This Machine

Product Features

Five aspects of the XH285L that fit it to mid-size soil compactor work: Cummins six-cylinder powertrain, working width and weight class, environmental operating envelope, road-foundation sector fit, and class position vs the heavier XH365L flagship.

01
Powertrain

Cummins 242 kW six-cylinder water-cooled engine

Cummins six-cylinder water-cooled diesel, 242 kW rated power. EU Stage III emission compliance — fits Australia and similar Stage III-adopting markets. Cummins six-cylinder is one of the most widely supported diesel platforms in the construction sector with parts pool overlap across many Chinese and global equipment lines. Water-cooling supports continuous high-load duty cycles typical of soil compactor work.

02
Working Envelope

3,820 mm working width, 28.5 t operating weight

3,820 mm working width per pass — wide single-pass coverage for road foundation and dam-fill work where high productivity matters. 28,500 kg operating weight provides static load for cohesive soil and rock-fill compaction. Overall 8,300 mm length × 3,830 mm width × 3,845 mm height — large machine requiring low-bed transit and permit planning.

03
Operating Envelope

Operating envelope: above -15 degrees C and below 4,000 m altitude

Specified for ambient temperature above -15 degrees C and altitude below 4,000 m. Fits temperate-zone road foundation and dam projects — most Australian, Middle Eastern, African, and Southeast Asian markets are inside the envelope. Higher-altitude (above 4,000 m) or extreme-cold (below -15 degrees C) projects need engine de-rating or sister model selection.

04
Application Fit

Road foundation, dam fill, airport sub-base, landfill compaction

Primary specification: push, shovel, and compaction work on road foundation, water-conservancy dam fills, airport sub-base, and other large-scale foundation filling. Secondary specification: landfill operation — push and compact solid fill to reduce land take and prolong service life of the landfill cell. Cross-sector positioning fits civil contractors and waste-management contractors on a shared chassis.

05
Class Position

Mid-class position between XS125 vibratory and XH365L flagship

Mid-size soil compactor — heavier than the 12.5 t XS125-class single-drum vibratory rollers but lighter than the 36.5 t XH365L flagship soil compactor / landfill compactor. Fits contractors needing soil-compactor function (push and compact, not vibrate) without flagship lift class. Parts compatibility on engine, hydraulics, and chassis components with siblings in the XH-series compactor fleet.
