Machines That Power XKIG: Inside the Heavy Equipment Behind Safer, Smarter Right-of-Way Clearing 

Right-of-way (ROW) clearing is one of the most challenging tasks in utility vegetation management. It demands precision, strength, environmental consciousness, and the ability to work safely in tough terrain. Behind every successful XKIG project is more than just a skilled crew; it’s a fleet of machines designed to move material, reclaim overgrown corridors, reduce outage risks, and restore reliability to the communities we serve. 

Why does bigger and better equipment matter? Here are a few reasons: 

• Faster project completion 
• Safer worksites 
• Greater reliability 
• Versatility across all environments 
• Stronger support for utility and infrastructure partners 

As the demand for faster, cleaner, and more efficient ROW services is ever-increasing, XKIG has upgraded its capabilities with the right equipment to meet each job. Here’s a look at the machines powering the next generation of clearing and reclamation. 

Bandit HM6420 – The Heavy-Hitter for High-Duty Grinding
With a massive 40”×64” feed opening and a 1,200 hp Cat engine, the Bandit HM6420 is engineered for high-volume grinding. It is ideal for reclaiming overgrown ROW, grinding mixed material piles, storm debris, and continuous clearing operations. 

Bandit 3090 – Whole-Tree Chipper Built for High-Volume Clearing 
Delivering up to 800 hp and producing over a ton of chips per minute, this Chipper excels in large-scale land clearing, pipeline work, rail corridor vegetation removal, and high-volume timber processing. 

Bandit BTC-300 – The Versatile Ground Dominator 
With up to 321 hp and interchangeable mower and stump grinder attachments, the BTC-300 handles rugged terrain, slope clearing, stump removal, and access road preparation. 

John Deere 160G – The Mid-Sized Excavator That Does It All 
The Excavator offers 21 feet of digging depth, 122 hp, and strong maneuverability for trenching, root extraction, material loading, drainage work, and site prep. 

CAT D6N XL – Precision Dozer for Earth-Moving and Finish Grading 
With 166 hp and a 36,000+ lb operating weight, the Dozer delivers stability and control for bulk earthmoving, access road building, slope shaping, and final grading. 

Dump Truck Fleet – Efficient Material Movement 
XKIG’s range of Tri-Axle, Double-Axle, and Single-Axle dump trucks ensure fast and safe hauling of logs, chips, soil, and storm debris.

With this expanded lineup of grinders, chippers, dozers, excavators, and haul trucks, XKIG is setting a new standard and redefining high-performance ROW clearing. This is more than just equipment; it’s what dependability looks like.
