Mine and quarry owners know that their biggest fear isn't a lot of work, but machines that can't dig, can't load quickly, and require constant repairs once they're in the mine. Even if daily output is low, workers still get paid, causing immense frustration. The DX370PC-9 35.6 Tons Crawler Excavator I'm talking about today is designed for hard rock conditions.
Export Data Proves It: Mining Demand Is Soaring
Let’s look at the big picture. Data from the General Administration of Customs shows that my country’s excavator export value reached $3.892 billion from January to April 2026—a year-on-year increase of 25.06%. Momentum accelerated in May, with export value hitting 8.076 billion RMB, up 26.07% year-on-year. Growth in Africa and Latin America was particularly impressive, surging 58% and 81% respectively in May. In Africa, approximately 75% of excavator demand stems from mining operations. Large-scale mining excavators are becoming a key growth driver for Chinese construction machinery exports. With a powerful 212kW engine, it can conquer even the toughest rocks.
The DX370PC-9 35.6 Tons Crawler Excavator is equipped with either an Isuzu or Cummins engine, delivering 212kW of power. What does that mean in practice? It means that while other machines complete three digging cycles, this one completes four. It features a Kawasaki main pump, a choice of Kawasaki or Parker control valves, and travel and swing motors imported from South Korea. The hydraulic system offers rapid response and smooth operation, ensuring clean, efficient loading and material handling—operators praise its highly responsive, intuitive feel. Users report that even after nearly 5,000 hours of operation, the machine climbs 45-degree slopes effortlessly and remains virtually trouble-free.
Massive 1.8m³ Bucket: Doubling Loading Speed
It boasts a 1.8m³ bucket capacity and a standard digging force of 188kN, which boosts to 199.9kN in power-boost mode. With a maximum digging depth of 7,275 mm, a maximum digging radius of 10,506 mm, and a dumping height of 7,303 mm, it offers the reach and speed needed for everything from loading wide-body mining trucks to dumping from high benches. A high-strength frame paired with 506 mm of ground clearance allows it to navigate rugged mine terrain with ease, while its 70% gradeability ensures stable operation on slopes.
Easy maintenance, minimal downtime
The open-style engine hood allows for quick access during inspections, and daily maintenance points are logically arranged—no need to dismantle other components to get the job done. A design that prevents mud and rock entrapment reduces wear and extends the machine's service life. This DX370PC-9 35.6 Tons Crawler Excavator is designed for people who deal with hard rock and large-scale earthmoving every day.
Who is this machine for?
✅ Mining and quarrying operations
✅ Large-scale infrastructure and earthworks
✅ Projects prioritizing loading efficiency
✅ Challenging conditions involving hard rock, frozen soil, etc.
Summary: 212 kW power + 1.8 m³ bucket + 199.9 kN digging force + 7.2 m digging depth. It handles hard rock, loads quickly, and is easy to maintain. If you're interested, send me a private message or leave a comment, and I'll provide detailed specifications and a quote! 🚜
