The flagship
A purpose-built, single-engine heavy-duty excavator engineered around the work tool — not adapted to it. One engine, one hydraulic system: full attachment horsepower and full carrier responsiveness, at the same time.
Two configurations
Every XPE ships standard with the Forestry Guard Package, Catwalk Bumpers, a 2-year warranty, and Powertek Connect. AFEX dual-agent fire suppression available. Contact Powertek for current pricing and lead times.
Why purpose-built wins
The hydraulic system is sized for sustained high-HP attachment work — 200 GPM at 5,000 PSI — so a 600 HP cutterhead runs at its rating instead of below it.
Cooling capacity is engineered for continuous forestry duty. No heat-soak derating, no throttling back to protect the carrier in hour six.
Carrier, hydraulics, attachment, guarding, controls, and telematics are designed together and built in one shop — and the team that built it watches it run.
Serviceability
Standard service ladder in the engine bay, rear-mounted filters for fast access, and a clean single-engine layout with fewer duplicated service points. Daily inspections take minutes, and the wrench time happens at ground level or on the catwalk — not hanging off the side of the machine.
One engine bay, clean layout — CAT power with room to work.
XPE-200-575 with its matched cutterhead — one machine, engineered and tested together.
The bundle
Every XPE ships with the attachment that runs on it — machine and head engineered and tested as one system, delivered ready to work. No integration risk, no finger-pointing between the carrier dealer and the head dealer. One builder stands behind the whole machine.
Bundles are built to order and specced to your work. Contact Powertek for current pricing and the production schedule.
Need power sooner?
If your excavator is sound and the job can't wait for a full build, the HT-575 Power Pack delivers the same CAT C13B power on your existing machine — the fastest route to production power in the lineup.
