When I talk with customers about a medium hydraulic Excavator, I usually start with one simple question: what kind of work will the machine do every day? Excavation is not just about having a powerful engine. A good machine also needs stable hydraulic control, enough digging force, easy maintenance, comfortable operation and a working size that matches the jobsite. This is where the XE135GA Hydraulic Excavator becomes a practical option.
The XE135GA is a medium excavator designed for a wide range of construction and earthmoving work. According to the manufacturer's published specifications, the machine has an operating weight of 13,500 kg, a bucket capacity range of 0.32–0.63 m³, an engine rated power of 89 kW and a bucket digging force of 107 kN. These figures put it into a useful working class for contractors who need more capability than a Compact Excavator but do not want to move up to a much larger machine.

From my experience in construction machinery sales and international trade, this balance matters. A machine that is too small may take longer to finish heavy excavation. A machine that is too large may increase transport, fuel and operating costs when the project does not need that capacity. The right middle ground can make daily work much easier.
At Ganglong Heavy Industry Technology, we work with construction machinery for different markets and working conditions. Our group was founded in 2013 and integrates equipment research and development, manufacturing, testing, customization and global sales. Together with Hefei Ganglong International Trade Co., Ltd., we serve customers across Asia, Africa, America and other international markets.
In this product page, I will explain how I look at the XE135GA, what its main systems do, where it can be used, what buyers should check before ordering, and how we handle production, inspection and export delivery.
I would describe the XE135GA as a working machine rather than a machine built only around a list of specifications. Its value comes from how the engine, hydraulic system, working equipment, crawler undercarriage and operator controls work together.
The machine uses a low-speed, high-torque engine design. In simple terms, the engine is intended to provide useful power without always needing to run at very high speed. XCMG states that the XE135GA uses an EGR+DOC+DPF after-treatment route and an integrated after-treatment unit that does not require urea addition. The manufacturer also highlights the large-displacement main pump and large-flow main valve used with the machine's intelligent control system. These details are important because excavation work is not a single movement. The machine may need to dig, lift, swing and travel in a short working cycle.
Another useful point is the standard two-speed travel motor. For an excavator working between different areas of a site, travel speed and pulling ability affect daily productivity. Operators can use the appropriate travel setting instead of treating every movement in the same way.
The XE135GA also uses a touch-screen liquid crystal instrument and a redesigned operating interface. The machine can be configured with a start-up password and one-key start function. These may sound like small details, but when a machine is used by several operators or works on a busy project, simple controls can make daily operation more convenient.

For international buyers, I always recommend looking beyond one number. Operating weight, bucket size, engine power and digging force should be considered together with the actual material, digging depth, transportation conditions, attachments and expected working hours.
The basic working principle of the XE135GA is easy to understand. The diesel engine provides mechanical power. The hydraulic system turns that power into controlled movement. Hydraulic oil is pressurized and sent through the main valve to different actuators, allowing the boom, arm, bucket, swing system and travel system to perform their jobs.
When the operator moves a control lever, the machine does not simply send maximum power everywhere. The hydraulic control system manages the flow according to the requested movement. This is important because excavation usually involves several actions at once.
For example, imagine the operator digging a trench. First, the bucket moves into the soil. Then the arm and boom work together to fill the bucket. After that, the upper structure swings toward a truck or stockpile. The bucket is raised and emptied. The machine then returns to the digging position. This repeated cycle is where hydraulic response, stability and operator control become important.
The engine and hydraulic system therefore need to be matched properly. XCMG describes the XE135GA as using a low-speed high-torque engine, a large-displacement main pump and a large-flow main valve combined with an intelligent control platform. The purpose is not simply to make individual components look powerful. The goal is to make the complete machine work smoothly under different conditions.
The crawler undercarriage also plays an important role. Unlike a wheeled machine, a crawler excavator distributes its weight over tracks. This helps provide a stable working platform on construction sites, earthwork areas and other surfaces where ground conditions can change.
I also pay attention to maintenance access when discussing Excavators with buyers. A machine may spend thousands of hours on a project, and routine checks become part of its real cost. Filters, fluids, hydraulic components, engine systems and electrical connections all need regular attention. A practical machine is one that operators and service technicians can understand and maintain without unnecessary complexity.
Position the crawler excavator on suitable ground.
Lower and position the working equipment.
Use the bucket, arm and boom to break and collect material.
Swing the upper structure toward the unloading position.
Raise and empty the bucket.
Return to the digging position and repeat the cycle.
This simple cycle explains why machine balance is so important. Digging force alone does not determine actual performance. The operator, hydraulic response, engine power, bucket choice and jobsite conditions all influence the final result.
When I evaluate the XE135GA Hydraulic Excavator for a customer, I normally divide its features into four areas: power, hydraulic performance, operator experience and maintenance.
The 89 kW engine gives the XE135GA the power needed for its working class. XCMG's published information highlights the low-speed high-torque design and EGR+DOC+DPF after-treatment system. The manufacturer also states that the integrated after-treatment system does not require urea. For buyers who work far from convenient service facilities, the fuel and after-treatment system should always be discussed before purchase because local fuel quality, regulations and service conditions can affect long-term operation.
The machine uses a large-displacement main pump and large-flow main valve. Together with intelligent control, this supports coordinated hydraulic movement. The published bucket digging force is 107 kN, which gives the machine useful digging capability for general construction, earthmoving and related jobs.
In real work, I would not promise one fixed production rate because soil, rock, bucket selection, operator experience, truck position and cycle distance all change the result. Instead, I prefer to match the machine to the customer's actual working conditions.
The touch-screen liquid crystal instrument gives the operator access to machine information through a modern interface. One-key start makes starting the machine straightforward, while a start-up password can provide an additional layer of machine-use control.
For contractors, operator comfort is not just about convenience. An operator who spends many hours inside the cab needs controls that are easy to understand and information that is easy to read. Less time spent looking for settings or checking basic information can make the working day smoother.
The XE135GA is equipped with a two-speed travel motor. Excavators often move between digging areas, material piles and loading positions. A suitable travel system helps the operator manage these movements while keeping the machine stable.
I would not limit the XE135GA to one industry. Its published application range includes municipal engineering, commercial and residential construction, agricultural water projects, rural construction, and road and bridge construction. These are areas where a medium crawler excavator can be useful for repeated digging, loading and site preparation work.
Urban construction often involves trenches, drainage, utility installation, road maintenance and site preparation. Space may be limited, and the machine may need to work around existing structures. Before ordering, the buyer should check the required working radius, transportation route and attachment configuration.
Building projects require excavation for foundations, drainage, underground utilities and general earthmoving. The XE135GA's medium-size configuration can be considered when the project needs more working capacity than a compact excavator can provide.
Road projects involve cutting, trenching, loading, shoulder work and site preparation. Bridge projects can involve foundation preparation and earthmoving around construction areas. The actual bucket and attachment should be selected according to the material and job.
Agricultural construction and water conservancy projects can include irrigation channels, drainage work, pond excavation, land preparation and embankment work. Ground conditions can vary greatly, so attachment choice and ground pressure should be reviewed before purchase.
Landscaping contractors may use excavators for grading, digging, removing soil and preparing construction areas. With the appropriate attachment, an excavator can also support material handling and other secondary tasks.
| Application | Typical Work | Points I Recommend Checking |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal engineering | Drainage, utility trenches, site preparation | Working space, attachments, transport access |
| Building construction | Foundation excavation, earthmoving, loading | Bucket size, digging depth, site layout |
| Road and bridge construction | Roadside excavation, earthmoving, trenching | Ground condition, travel requirements, bucket type |
| Agricultural projects | Drainage, irrigation, land preparation | Ground pressure, soil type, seasonal conditions |
| Landscaping | Grading, digging, soil removal | Site access, attachment requirements, working radius |

When a customer asks me whether the XE135GA is the right excavator, I do not compare machines only by brand name. I first compare working weight, bucket capacity, engine power and digging force. These basic figures help show where different machines sit in the product range.
The following comparison uses published XCMG data for the XE135GA, XE135G and XE155GA. It is intended as a technical reference rather than a universal performance ranking.
| Model | Operating Weight | Bucket Capacity | Engine Rated Power | Bucket Digging Force |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XE135GA | 13,500 kg | 0.32–0.63 m³ | 89 kW | 107 kN |
| XE135G | 13,500 kg | 0.60 m³ | 85 kW / 2,200 rpm | 107 kN |
| XE155GA | 14,600 kg | 0.65 m³ | 89 kW / 2,200 rpm | 107 kN |
Source: XCMG official product pages for XE135GA, XE135G and XE155GA.
The comparison shows why model selection should be based on the actual job. The XE135GA and XE135G have the same published operating weight and bucket digging force, but their published bucket and engine figures differ. The XE155GA moves into a heavier working-weight class and lists a 0.65 m³ bucket. These differences may matter when the customer has a particular transport limit, digging requirement or production target.
I also tell customers not to select a machine based on bucket size alone. A larger bucket is not automatically better. If the material is dense, the machine needs enough digging force and hydraulic capability. If the truck size is small, an oversized bucket may not improve the overall loading cycle. Good equipment selection is about matching the complete system.
Buying an excavator from an international supplier is different from buying a small spare part. The machine has to be produced, checked, prepared for transport and delivered through a suitable shipping method. At Ganglong, I treat these steps as part of the product service rather than something that happens after the sale.
For diesel-powered excavators, our usual production planning period is around 15–30 days after order confirmation. The exact lead time depends on the selected model, configuration and quantity. If the customer needs a special attachment, customized configuration or a larger batch, I recommend confirming the schedule before the order is finalized.
Before delivery, we arrange inspection of key systems. The inspection normally covers the engine, hydraulic system, crawler system, working equipment, electrical system, safety functions and general operating performance.
I believe this step is especially important for overseas buyers because the machine may travel thousands of kilometers before reaching the final jobsite. Finding a problem before shipment is much easier than dealing with it after arrival.
| Inspection Area | What We Check |
|---|---|
| Engine | Starting, operating condition and basic engine performance |
| Hydraulic system | Hydraulic functions, movement response and visible leakage |
| Working equipment | Boom, arm, bucket and related operating functions |
| Undercarriage | Crawler condition, travel operation and basic movement |
| Electrical system | Instrument functions, controls and electrical operation |
| Safety functions | Relevant safety controls and operating functions |
A standard excavator delivery normally includes the complete machine, standard working equipment, basic tools, operation and maintenance manuals and necessary technical documents. If the customer orders additional attachments or spare parts, those items can be prepared and packed separately.
For international orders, T/T is commonly used. A typical arrangement is 30% deposit with the balance paid before shipment. L/C may also be available for qualified international orders. Payment terms should always be confirmed in the final commercial contract because different projects and customers may require different arrangements.
Excavators are large machines, so transportation must be planned around the machine's final dimensions, weight, port and destination. Depending on the project, we can arrange bulk vessel, Ro-Ro vessel, container or flat-rack container transportation.
Before shipment, I normally check the destination port, local unloading conditions, required documents and preferred shipping method. A transport plan that looks cheaper at the first stage may not be the most practical after port handling and inland transportation are included.
For export preparation, the machine is normally cleaned, protected against rust and moisture, securely fixed and covered where necessary. Spare parts can be packed separately in wooden cases or strong export cartons. The exact packing method depends on the machine, destination and shipping arrangement.
For us, selling an excavator is not simply a matter of sending a quotation. We need to understand what the customer wants to do with the machine.
Ganglong Heavy Industry Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. was founded in 2013. Together with Hefei Ganglong International Trade Co., Ltd., we are affiliated with China Construction Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd. Our business covers equipment R&D, manufacturing, testing, customization and global sales.
We offer our own HKLOONG brand excavators, loaders, Backhoe loaders and swamp excavators. At the same time, we provide complete machine sales and leasing services for domestic and international brands including Hitachi, SANY, Lonking, Hyundai, XCMG, SHANMON and LOVOL. This gives us experience across different equipment types and working conditions.
Our product range also covers construction machinery, mining machinery, agricultural machinery and matching attachments. This matters when a customer is building a complete equipment plan rather than buying only one excavator.
Hefei Ganglong International Trade Co., Ltd. focuses on international business. Our team has experience serving customers in Asia, Africa, America and other regions. International machinery sales involve more than equipment specifications. They also involve shipping, documents, payment arrangements, spare parts, after-sales communication and local working conditions.
When a customer asks me for an XE135GA quotation, I prefer to collect several pieces of information first:
What material will the excavator mainly dig?
What is the average daily working time?
What is the required bucket size?
Will the machine work on roads, farms, construction sites or mixed terrain?
Are additional attachments required?
Where is the final destination?
What are the local emission and import requirements?
Does the customer need spare parts with the initial shipment?
These questions help us avoid recommending a machine simply because its specification looks attractive on paper. The final equipment configuration should make sense for the job.
The published operating weight of the XE135GA is 13,500 kg. The actual shipping weight and final configuration should be confirmed from the final technical documents before transportation planning.
XCMG publishes a bucket capacity range of 0.32–0.63 m³ for the XE135GA. The appropriate bucket should be selected according to the material, job type and required production rate rather than simply choosing the largest available option.
The published engine rated power is 89 kW. Engine performance in the field also depends on operating conditions, maintenance, fuel quality and the complete hydraulic and power system.
The published bucket digging force is 107 kN. This is one of the useful reference values when evaluating the machine for excavation work, although actual digging results depend on soil, rock, bucket type, operator technique and jobsite conditions.
The XE135GA is published for applications including municipal engineering, commercial and residential construction, agricultural water projects, rural construction, road and bridge construction. It can also be considered for related earthmoving, landscaping and utility work when the machine configuration matches the job.
Yes. The XE135GA is a diesel-powered hydraulic excavator. Its engine provides the power needed by the hydraulic and travel systems. For buyers working in regions with specific emission requirements, I recommend confirming the exact engine and emission configuration before placing an order.
Our general production planning period for diesel excavators is around 15–30 days after order confirmation. The final lead time depends on the model, configuration, quantity, attachment requirements and production schedule.
Depending on the final machine dimensions and destination, we can consider bulk vessel, Ro-Ro vessel, container or flat-rack container transportation. We check the machine and shipping route before confirming the final logistics plan.
T/T is commonly used, with a typical arrangement of 30% deposit and 70% balance before shipment. L/C may be available for qualified international orders. The final payment terms should be stated clearly in the commercial contract.
Yes. I recommend considering commonly required service parts at the time of the initial order, especially when the machine will work in a remote area. Spare parts can be packed separately in suitable wooden cases or export cartons.
Configuration options depend on the specific machine, attachment and market requirements. If you have a special bucket, working tool, transport requirement or local regulation, send us the details before ordering. We can check the available configuration and confirm it with the technical and commercial documents.
I recommend confirming at least the machine configuration, operating weight, bucket type and capacity, engine and emission specification, attachments, warranty terms, delivery schedule, payment terms, shipping method, spare parts requirements and destination-country import requirements. These details are more useful than comparing the purchase price alone.
The XE135GA Hydraulic Excavator is a medium-class crawler excavator designed for customers who need a practical balance between working capacity, digging performance and machine size. Its published 13,500 kg operating weight, 0.32–0.63 m³ bucket capacity, 89 kW engine rated power and 107 kN bucket digging force provide a clear starting point for equipment selection.
What I like about this type of machine is its flexibility. It can be considered for municipal work, building construction, road and bridge projects, agricultural water projects, rural construction and general earthmoving. Instead of being tied to one narrow application, the machine can support different jobs when the bucket and attachments are correctly selected.
At the same time, I would not tell a customer that one excavator is automatically suitable for every project. Soil condition, rock content, digging depth, working hours, transport restrictions, local regulations and attachment requirements all matter. The best way to choose an excavator is to start from the job and then work backward to the machine.
At Ganglong Heavy Industry Technology, our role is to help customers make that connection. From machine selection and configuration to factory inspection, export preparation, transportation and spare parts, we aim to make the purchase process clear and practical.
If you are looking for an XE135GA Hydraulic Excavator, XE135GA Excavator, medium hydraulic excavator or crawler hydraulic excavator for construction and earthmoving, you can send us your working conditions, destination and required configuration. We can then check the suitable specification, delivery schedule and international shipping arrangement for your project.
