XCMG Dealer in Southern Alberta
Foothills Equipment is an authorized XCMG dealer in Calgary and Lethbridge, serving Southern Alberta. We carry the XCMG lineup from mini excavators through wheel loaders, motor graders and compactors, and we fix heavy equipment ourselves every day.
Major brand work without the major brand price, from a team that's been repairing machines for 9 years.
We serve Southern Alberta, which for us means everything south of Red Deer, out of our shops in Calgary and Lethbridge.

Each category links to its page, and each model to its own page.
Backed by Foothills
- A tech on your site within 24 hours.
If your machine goes down, our Uptime Guarantee™* puts a tech on your site within 24 hours, and gets you a loaner within 72 hours if repairs aren't done.
- Parts that don't keep you waiting.
93% of parts orders are filled within 24 hours out of XCMG's Edmonton warehouse, a few hours up the highway, and the common parts sit on our own shelf.
- Mechanics first.
We started out fixing heavy equipment, and we still do every day in Calgary and Lethbridge. Our advisors use that to match the right machine to your job, not the biggest one on the lot.
A week with your own operators, for counties
A compact demo answers "I’d never buy without running it first". For a county or a municipality, the harder question is that nobody in the yard has run this brand before.
So we do it differently with the GR2605. We bring the grader to the county and leave it about a week, your own operators run it on your own roads, and our technician is there while they do. By the end of the week the people telling the director whether it's any good are your own crew.
Questions we get asked
Is there an XCMG dealer in Calgary?
Yes. Foothills Equipment is an authorized XCMG dealer with a shop in Calgary at 9919 Shepard Rd SE, and a second shop in Lethbridge. We cover Southern Alberta from those two locations, which for us means everything south of Red Deer.
Where can I buy an XCMG excavator in Alberta?
From us, in Calgary or Lethbridge. We carry mini excavators from the XE18U up to the XE80U, and full-size excavators in the XE235UCR, XE300U and XE360U. What's on the yard right now is on our Current Inventory page, and an advisor will tell you what's available and what it takes to get one that isn't.
Can I get XCMG parts in Lethbridge?
Yes. Our Lethbridge shop handles parts along with Calgary, and 93% of parts orders are filled within 24 hours out of XCMG's Edmonton warehouse. The common parts sit on our own shelf. You don't need to have bought the machine from us.
Who services XCMG machines in Southern Alberta?
We do. We were a heavy equipment repair business before we were a dealer, with shops in Calgary and Lethbridge and mobile repair across Southern Alberta. Machines we put to work come with the Uptime Guarantee™, which is a tech on your site within 24 hours and a loaner within 72 hours if the repair isn’t finished.
What engines do XCMG machines use?
Across the lineup you'll find Cummins and Kubota engines, Kawasaki hydraulic pumps, Bosch Rexroth hydraulics and ZF transmissions. Cummins power is in the GR2605 grader, the XE235UCR, XE300U and XE360U excavators and the XC938U, XC948U and XC958U wheel loaders. Kubota is in the XE55U and XE80U mini excavators.
Can I try a machine before I buy it?
Yes, and we'd rather you did. Compact machines go out to your job site for a free demo, with no deposit and no complicated rental agreement, just a simple liability agreement when the machine arrives. For a motor grader we can leave it with a county for about a week so their own operators run it.
