Gradall’s newest truck-mounted excavator features 220-degree rotation telescopic boom
The XE 4100 is designed with an ultra low-profile boom and on-highway performance to fit where conventional excavators can’t
Gradall Industries's new XE 4100 excavator offers a slightly lighter machine that retains popular performance capabilities and comes priced to fit state, county, municipal, and specialty contractor budgets.
Features of the XE 4100 excavator
The XE 4100 6 x 4 model was carefully engineered to reduce costs while mirroring the popular productivity and versatility advantages of Gradall's popular XL 4100 Series I machines. With a similar 27-foot boom reach and 20-foot dig depth, combined with a telescoping boom that fully rotates 220 degrees, the XE 4100 handles precise grading, ditching, excavation, landscaping, vegetation control, and even demolition of curbs, sidewalks, and culverts — all without the need for outriggers. The low-profile boom also operates efficiently under bridges and trees where conventional excavators won't fit.
Meanwhile, the XE 4100 incorporates many of the popular features introduced on Gradall Series V models including a Volvo engine, advanced Bosch Rexroth high pressure hydraulics and electric joystick controls using a Gradall, Deere, or SAE joystick pattern.
Ultimate versatility in control
A new remote repositioning system allows the machine to be repositioned from either the carrier or upper cab using an Allison-approved transmission application to ensure smooth, dependable performance and simplified serviceability. From the carrier cab, the excavator has a highway speed capability of 60 mph, allowing it to be driven quickly to job sites without the need for a lowboy trailer. Or from the upper cab, the carrier can be repositioned on a jobsite or along the length of a ditch at 7 mph.
The XE 4100 excavator weighs 45,900 pounds, about 4,000 pounds less than the XL 4100 Series V machine, largely through a reduction in counterweight size with a 6-inch reduction in tail swing. Still, the geometry of the machine maintains productive boom forces comparable with the XL 4100 Series I machines as well as the excellent balance, stability and roadability Gradall operators expect.
Optional equipment includes an AM/FM radio, work lights and auxiliary hydraulic plumbing. Heat and air conditioning in both cabs remains standard, providing operator comfort no matter the season or jobsite conditions. Standard attachments include a range of buckets as well as a popular tree limb shear and fixed thumb grapple.
