Buying brief: Xingwantong WT85-2T
This wheeled digging excavator, the WT85-2T, is an 8.5-tonne class machine for trenching, utility work, and general construction. Bucket capacity is listed in m and rated power in kW/hp, but the catalogue does not state the figures. Machines of this size typically weigh around 8.5 tonnes and carry a bucket of about 0.4 m , with engine power near 60 kW. Buyers should verify these values. The size offers a balance of mobility and digging capability for contractors working across multiple sites.
A wheeled undercarriage at this weight gives good road speed and mobility, but stability on uneven ground is lower than a tracked machine. Buyers should weigh tyre condition and type, steering mode, and the presence of a travel lock for safe digging. Attachments such as breakers or augers add flexibility but affect balance and hydraulic demand. Consider ground conditions and whether stabilisers are needed. The steering system and turning circle affect work in confined areas, and brake performance is important for road travel.
Inspection should cover the engine for oil leaks, exhaust colour, and cold-start behaviour, and the hydraulics for smooth operation and cylinder integrity. Check pins and bushes on the boom, arm, and bucket for wear and proper greasing. Wheel hubs need checking for bearing play and seal leaks, and brakes should be tested. Structural inspection includes welds on the boom and arm, chassis cracks, and the swing ring. Also check the condition of the tyres and wheels, and confirm that the steering and travel lock systems function correctly.
For shipping, this size often travels in a container or on a flat rack, with RoRo as an option for self-propelled loading. The unit's actual dimensions and weight determine the method, along with the destination port's facilities. Buyers should obtain exact measurements and confirm with the forwarder whether the machine fits a standard container or needs a flat rack or breakbulk. Port handling equipment and shipping schedules also affect the choice. Securing and lashing points should be identified in advance.
