XCMG describes switching between crowd-cylinder and crowd-winch functions, a 240 kN·m rotary drive and an electronically controlled turbocharged engine. Single-row rope technology is used on the main and auxiliary winches, while the control system includes mast-perpendicularity adjustment. These features address both the drilling task and the equipment-management needs of a busy foundation site.

Larger building foundations, infrastructure piles and projects requiring different drilling arrangements are useful applications to evaluate. The machine should be specified against the ground investigation and chosen construction method. Defining tools, working envelope and transport arrangements together helps the XR240E support the project as a complete foundation solution.
