Gradall Introduces New XE 4100 Excavator

Mar 25, 2026 - 3 months ago

Gradall Industries has introduced its new XE 4100 model excavator.

The new machines that are slightly lighter in weight without sacrificing popular performance capabilities and properly priced and free of tariffs to fit easily into the budgets of states, counties, municipalities and even specialty contractors.

The XE 4100 6 x 4 model was carefully engineered to reduce costs while mirroring the popular productivity and versatility advantages of Gradall’s popular XL 4100 Series I machines. With a similar 27-foot boom reach and 20-foot dig depth, combined with a telescoping boom that fully rotates 220 degrees, the XE 4100 handles precise grading, ditching, excavation, landscaping, vegetation control and even demolition of curbs, sidewalks and culverts – all without the need for outriggers. The low-profile boom also operates efficiently under bridges and trees where conventional excavators won’t fit.

Meanwhile, the XE 4100 incorporates many of the popular features introduced on Gradall Series V models including a Volvo engine, advanced Bosch Rexroth high pressure hydraulics and electric joystick controls using a Gradall, Deere or SAE joystick pattern.

A new remote repositioning system allows the machine to be repositioned from either the carrier or upper cab using an Allison‑approved transmission application to ensure smooth, dependable performance and simplified serviceability. From the carrier cab, the excavator has a highway speed capability of 60 mph, allowing it to be driven quickly to jobsites without the need for a lowboy trailer. Or from the upper cab, the carrier can be repositioned on a jobsite or along the length of a ditch at 7 mph.

The XE 4100 excavator weighs 45,900 pounds, about 4,000 pounds less than the XL 4100 Series V machine, largely through a reduction in counterweight size with a 6-inch reduction in tail swing. Still, the geometry of the machine maintains productive boom forces comparable with the XL 4100 Series I machines as well as the excellent balance, stability and roadability Gradall operators expect.

Optional equipment includes an AM/FM radio, work lights and auxiliary hydraulic plumbing. Heat and air conditioning in both cabs remains standard, providing operator comfort no matter the season or jobsite conditions. Standard attachments include a range of buckets as well as a popular tree limb shear and fixed thumb grapple.
Gradall excavators are designed and manufactured in the U.S.
