The XCMG XGA
16 Aerial Platform has an articulated and partially telescopic boom
with a nominal reach of 16m.
Packaging
The model comes in an XCMG branded box. It is
contained in a pair of expanded polystyrene trays, and is wrapped with soft paper.
The review model had no missing parts or manufacturing
defects.
No instructions were included with the review model, and
no assembly is required.
Detail
The undercarriage is fairly simple, but the structural
parts are all metal. A few graphics are applied on
one axle and the sides. The wheels are detailed
and the tyres have a decent tread pattern.
The
rounded body shape is modelled well and there are some
nice graphics. The XCMG name on the counterweight
is embossed, and the graphics for the control panel are
finely detailed.
The articulated boom has three sections which are simple
but with sharp graphics. Connections are made with
discrete friction pins. The rams have
plastic jackets and there are no hydraulic hoses.
The small telescopic section is metal.
The basket is an all metal part, with the structure
modelled underneath. It has graphics applied, and
there is a lightly textured platform surface.
There is a space for a control pad to be fitted.
Features
The model rolls well, with steering on one axle with a good range of movement.
The body
rotates smoothly.
The articulated boom raises
easily with just a little looseness in the rams at
certain positions so not every elevation can be posed.
Extending the boom is easy, and it locks at full extension.
The basket angle is adjustable to maintain a level
attitude, and it also rotates.
Quality
This model is relatively heavy and robust, with
a high metal content, and the quality level is very good overall.
The
paintwork and graphics are very good.
Price
It is a decent value model based on the
price charged from China.
Overall
This is a fairly simple but
robust aerial platform model, wand it feels like a heavy
good quality model.
