XCMG XGA17ACN Makes European Debut Targeting High-End Market with Compact Design
August 16,2026

Recently, the first batch of XGA17ACN narrow articulated boom lifts has been officially shipped to the European market.

Some areas in Europe, such as old factory renovations, dense warehouse picking, and low-ceilinged workshop maintenance, have extremely strict requirements for equipment pass-through, environmental protection, and safety. Most products cannot enter, turn, or reach, but XGA17ACN, with its 1.5m narrow body, 1.99m low height, and zero tail swing design, easily handles these challenges—this is precisely the confidence behind its entry into the European high-end market.

How does this machine, designed for confined spaces, solve the traditional equipment issues of "can't enter, can't turn"?

Narrow-body design

The overall machine width is only 1.5m, and the height is only 1.99m, combined with a zero tail swing design, allowing for easy maneuvering, shifting, and changing direction in tight spaces; the stowed dimensions are 6.57m×1.5m×1.99m, and the transport length can be controlled within 5m, effectively improving the utilization rate of transport vehicle space and reducing delivery costs.

Superior operational performance

The maximum working height is 17m, the maximum working outreach is 9.7m, the maximum clearance is 7.2m, and the load capacity is 230kg. Whether it's crossing over shelves, going around pipes, or carrying personnel and materials simultaneously, it handles every task with ease. Equipped with a 12kW high-power function pump, compound actions are smoother, and the work cycle is significantly reduced; combined with a 48V/400Ah maintenance-free battery and an AC drive motor, it can achieve more than 30 Hede cycles in winter, ensuring long-lasting endurance and low maintenance.

Intelligent fault diagnosis

The XGA17ACN is equipped with XGA's self-developed universal controller, with its overall control logic, parameter tuning, calibration, and fault diagnosis system fully unified with the full series of boom lifts. Operators and maintenance personnel can start using it immediately without relearning. The standardized intelligent fault diagnosis module can quickly locate faults and accurately troubleshoot, significantly reducing downtime, minimizing spare part consumption, and reducing the frequency of on-site repairs, effectively controlling long-term operational costs.

Green and clean operations

Zero emissions, low noise, and mark-free driving—The two-wheel AC electric drive and differential steering control technology reduce tire wear while meeting the cleanliness requirements of sensitive environments such as hospitals, food workshops, and precision manufacturing plants.

How to achieve a large working radius and zero tail swing design under the strict constraints of a 1.5m narrow body and an overall height of less than 2m? The solution from XGA's R&D team:

Lightweight boom

High-strength plate + ANSYS simulation optimization, reducing weight by over 30% compared to conventional products with the same reach.

Offset boom structure

Using an offset boom structure to reduce the overall height and increase the boom's height-to-width ratio to accommodate large working outreach.

Aluminum alloy platform

The platform support structure and guardrail components are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, reducing weight while ensuring load-bearing capacity.

Wide-tread tires

The ground contact area is increased by 15%, enhancing ground load-bearing capacity and driving stability.

XGA17ACN's delivery to the European market confirms XGA's strategic approach of entering specialized market segments with differentiated products and addressing regional market demands with tailored solutions. With this as a new starting point, XGA will continue to expand its global market presence, continuously enhance its product range to meet the diverse working conditions in different regions, and promote the application of aerial work platforms in a broader spectrum of operational scenarios.
