The XE500M is primarily a large, heavy-duty XCMG hydraulic material handler, often used in ports and scrap yards for loading/unloading bulk materials like timber, scrap metal, and logs, with specifications around 50 tons operating weight and powerful engines for demanding tasks. It's part of XCMG's M-series material handlers and is built tough for harsh conditions, featuring large grabs and high lifting capacities, though it's distinct from Motorola's XE500 RSM (Remote Speaker Microphone) for radios.
