At the construction site of a highway tunnel in western Henan, XC956 side dump loaders are vigorously waving their giant arms to quickly and high-quality assist in the early completion of this section of the tunnel.

After the blasting of the tunnel excavation surface, it is necessary to quickly clean the gravel and save time as much as possible during the tight construction period. This requires the side dump loader to quickly enter the site and efficiently complete the operation. But at this time, the tunnel is often accompanied by risks such as collapse, rock burst, and rockfall. Moreover, the harmful smoke and dust generated after blasting also pose a major threat to the service life of the equipment.

On the excavation surface, a XC956side dump loaders shoveled and loaded the crushed stones after blasting. The operation was quickly cleaned and loaded, and completed in less than half an hour. XCMG's fully enclosed skeleton structure cab ensures driver safety and effectively isolated dust, exhaust gas, and noise, providing an excellent driving and riding experience. The construction environment of tunnel operations is unique, and the workload is only much more than other working conditions. Narrow and long tunnels cannot provide sufficient working space for equipment. Gravel of different sizes, shapes, and densities constantly test the performance and quality of loaders.
