The **Qapqa Paywelder XC185** is a **multipurpose welding tractor** designed to support **automatic pipe welding** and a wide range of auxiliary tasks—making it an essential asset for field teams working in demanding environments. Whether you're operating in desert heat, arctic cold, or rugged terrain, the XC185 is built to perform. It combines **powerful functionality**, **modular configuration options**, and **operator comfort**, helping you streamline welding operations, reduce downtime, and improve safety on-site. ## **Key features** - **Spacious Fixed Platform** – Ideal for welding equipment and operator workspace - **Airconditioned & Heated Cabin** – Ensures comfort in extreme climates - **7 Tm Crane (Standard)** – Hydraulic lifting for gas bottles, tools, and components - **Joystick Control** – Intuitive operation for precise maneuvering - **Steel Tracks** – Built for stability and traction on uneven terrain - **Hydraulic Rear Gas Bottle Rack** – Safe and efficient handling of gas cylinders - **Optional Rubber Tracks** – For reduced ground impact and noise ## **Customizable configurations** The Paywelder XC185 isn’t a one-size-fits-all machine, it’s a modular platform designed to adapt to the specific demands of your project and operating conditions. Whether you're welding in desert heat, arctic cold, or remote terrain, the XC185 can be configured to match your workflow, climate, and technical requirements. ### **Climate control packages** Choose from three climate configurations to ensure operator comfort and equipment reliability: - **Standard**: For moderate conditions (-10°C to +45°C) - **Desert**: Enhanced cooling for extreme heat (-10°C to +60°C) - **Arctic**: Insulated and heated for cold environments (-40°C to +35°C) ### **Power options** Depending on your equipment needs, the XC185 can be delivered with or without integrated power generation: - **Standard**: No generator - **Optional**: 85 KVA, 100 KVA, or 115 KVA generator for powering welding systems, heating coils, or auxiliary tools ### **Compressor integration** For operations requiring high-volume air supply: - **Standard**: Without compressor - **Optional**: Built-in 1200L/min compressor, ideal for ILUC systems ### **Integrated welding systems** Expand the XC185’s capabilities with optional onboard systems: - **Pipe Facing Machine (PFM)** for in-field beveling - **Induction Heating System** with coil integration for pre-heating and stress relief ### **Crane capacity** The XC185 comes standard with a **7.0 Tm hydraulic crane**, suitable for lifting gas bottles and equipment. For heavier lifting tasks, **higher-capacity cranes** are available on request. ## **Applications** - Pipeline welding and fabrication - Gas bottle handling and transport - On-site beveling and induction heating - Mobile welding support in remote or extreme environments ## **Built for harsh conditions** The XC185 is engineered to operate reliably across a wide range of climates and terrains. Its modular design allows you to configure the tractor to match your exact operational requirements—whether you're working in the desert, arctic, or anywhere in between.
