    Common questions

    How much does the XCMG XE35U weigh?

    Operating weight: 9,039 lb (4,100 kg). Canopy (per brochure); other published value 9,259 lb (4,200 kg), presumably cab. Buckets, attachments and options add weight, so check the serial plate.

    What trailer do I need to haul a XCMG XE35U?

    One with a payload rating above 9,039 lb plus the weight of any buckets and attachments.

    Do I need a CDL to haul a XCMG XE35U?

    Not necessarily. A Class A CDL is required for commercial driving when the combined GVWR is 26,001 lb or more and the trailer is rated over 10,000 lb. A 9,039 lb machine can often go on a trailer rated 10,000 lb or less, but check the trailer’s rating and your state’s rules.
