XCMG XS 163 J

Product Overview The XCMG XS163J is a 16-ton class single drum vibratory roller manufactured by XCMG, one of China's largest construction equipment manufacturers. This model is designed for heavy-duty compaction of soil, gravel, blasted rock, and stabilized base materials. It is widely used in highway construction, railway projects, port foundations, mining operations, and industrial site preparation. Key Specifications Operating Weight: 16,000 kg Front Axle Load: 8,000 kg Rear Axle Load: 8,000 kg Static Linear Load: 376 N/cm Drum Width: 2,130 mm Drum Diameter: 1,523 mm Vibration Frequency: 28 / 33 Hz Vibration Amplitude: 1.9 / 0.95 mm Centrifugal Force: 290 / 200 kN Max Gradeability: 30% Min Turning Radius: 6,800 mm Overall Dimensions (LxWxH): 6,150 x 2,300 x 3,200 mm Engine The XS163J is powered by a Shanghai Diesel Engine H-series water-cooled, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine. Rated power is 103 kW at 1,800 rpm. The engine features large power reserve, energy saving, and noise reduction. Emission meets China Stage II standards, suitable for export to most regions including Africa, Southeast Asia, Middle East, and South America. Drive System The rear drum uses a closed-loop hydraulic drive system with variable displacement piston pump and piston motor. This ensures excellent drive performance and gradeability. The mechanical gearbox with synchronizer makes shifting convenient. The main clutch is a heavy-duty dry-type single-plate friction clutch with pneumatic assist mechanism, greatly reducing operating force. Vibration System Dual-frequency and dual-amplitude design allows operators to select the best combination for different materials: high frequency for asphalt finishing, low frequency for deep soil compaction. The hydraulic vibration system uses an open circuit with electronic control for reliable operation. Maximum compaction depth reaches 1.0 meter or more. Steering and Braking Fully hydraulic articulated steering makes operation light and flexible. Steering angle is ±30 degrees with cross-articulation design. Two independent braking systems: emergency brake and parking brake. Brake operation uses pneumatic assist for light and reliable control. Operator Environment The cab is ROPS certified with wide field of vision. Operator can directly observe objects 2 meters from the frame. The cab is detachable and has passed anti-rollover certification. The streamlined exterior design reduces wind noise. Ergonomically designed instrument panel minimizes operator workload for long shifts. Maintenance Features The engine hood is an integral metal structure with electric-controlled single-rod support lifting device. Large opening angle allows easy access to service points. Battery is maintenance-free with waterproof and dustproof connectors. The countersunk hole method on side panels reduces overall width while keeping drum width unchanged, making container transport easier. Applications Highway and expressway base and sub-base compaction Railway embankment and foundation work Port and airport runway construction Mine haul road and tailings dam compaction Industrial site preparation and backfilling Dam and levee construction Advantages High static linear load (376 N/cm) and centrifugal force (290 kN) for deep compaction Dual-frequency dual-amplitude for versatility across material types Simple mechanical drive with lower maintenance cost than full hydraulic Container-friendly width for export shipping Easy maintenance with electric-lifting hood Global XCMG parts and service network Summary The XCMG XS163J is a reliable and cost-effective 16-ton vibratory roller suitable for contractors and infrastructure projects worldwide. It combines strong compaction performance with simple maintenance and export-friendly design. For second-hand units, inspection reports and working videos are available upon
