Maximum power. Perfect track.

With peak torque of 27,600 Nm, the Snow Cat sets new standards in snow grooming performance. This power is instantly available at any speed. Combined with a maximum system output of 693 hp (510 kW), it clearly surpasses conventional combustion-powered machines. Independent travel and tiller speeds ensure consistently superior slope quality — at any operating speed.

Low Maintenance. Better for the Environment.

As a fully electric vehicle, the Snow Cat operates without a high-pressure hydraulic oil circuit. A compact hydraulic pump supplies only auxiliary functions such as tiller height adjustment and blade control. The result: up to 75% less oil consumption — and virtually no risk of environmentally harmful leaks. The hydraulic oil used is biodegradable. At the same time, routine pump maintenance and costly service interventions are significantly reduced, delivering clear benefits for both operations and the environment.

Flexible and Powerful in Transport

With interchangeable blades, tillers, and tracks, the Snow Cat can be configured in three widths — 280, 320, and 350. This level of modular versatility is unique worldwide in this class. Even in its most compact configuration, the Snow Cat can safely transport large snow guns with its blade. Whether on ski trails, cross-country tracks, or slopes, it adapts perfectly to every task — from positioning snow guns and distributing snow to final grooming for a flawless finish.

Range – regardless of the terrain

The xelom Snow Cat impresses with a grooming time of up to 5 hours – regardless of whether it is traveling uphill or on flat terrain. Thanks to recuperation, energy is fed back into the battery when driving downhill. This keeps the range constant and reliable, regardless of the topography.

Clean indoor slopes: no exhaust fumes or pollution

The Snow Cat is particularly suitable for use in ski domes and indoor winter sports centers. Thanks to its emission-free operation, there are no exhaust gases that could pollute the air, snow, or interior furnishings.

Its operation has no impact on the indoor climate, maintaining constant temperatures for optimal snow conditions. At the same time, the snow remains clean and white, as there are no exhaust residues.

Walls, ceilings, and technical equipment are also not contaminated—a clear advantage for maintenance, hygiene, and long-term value retention of the facility.

xelom Snow Cat: ideal applications and use cases

Cross-country trail grooming

For cross-country trail grooming, the xelom Snow Cat is especially well suited in its compact configuration. It is ideal for classic cross-country tracks as well as skating areas. Adjustable track setters create clean classic tracks, while the tiller delivers an even surface for skating.

Thanks to its fully electric drive, the Snow Cat operates quietly and with zero local emissions. This is particularly beneficial for cross-country trails near villages, in natural areas or in locations without existing infrastructure.

Ideal for: cross-country ski trails, skating tracks, classic tracks, natural trails and areas close to villages.

Flat to moderately steep slopes

The xelom Snow Cat SC 350 is particularly suitable for flat to moderately steep slopes, family slopes and children’s slopes. With its high performance and grooming time of up to 5 hours, it helps create consistent, safe and comfortable slope conditions.

Its low-noise operation is a major advantage near hotels, ski schools, villages and family-friendly ski resorts. The result is perfectly groomed slopes for children, beginners and families.

Ideal for: children’s slopes, practice slopes, family slopes, ski schools and flat to moderately steep ski slopes.

Ski paths and toboggan runs

The xelom Snow Cat is also suitable for ski paths, toboggan runs and winter hiking trails. Thanks to its compact design and modular configuration, it can be used on narrow routes as well as on wider connecting trails.

With up to 27,600 Nm of torque and 510 kW of power, it provides enough strength to move snow efficiently, groom routes and quickly restore usable conditions after fresh snowfall.

Ideal for: ski paths, connecting trails, toboggan runs, winter hiking trails and narrow trail sections.

Transport operations

Thanks to its high performance, the Snow Cat can easily transport materials, equipment and snow guns. Even in its most compact configuration, it can move large snow guns using the blade.

The loading platform can be removed via a quick-change system. This allows alternative bodies to be used, for example for transporting materials or people. The Snow Cat has a payload of up to 3 tonnes.

Ideal for: material transport, passenger transport, snow gun transport, service operations and work in alpine terrain; with rubber tracks, also in summer.

Frequently asked questions about the xelom Snow Cat

How long does the battery of a Snow Cat last before it needs to be recharged?

The effective runtime depends on the individual driving style. However, the Snow Cat allows for a realistic grooming time of around 5 hours – meaning effective use with the tiller running. The pure driving time without grooming is correspondingly higher.

Does the runtime decrease on steep terrain?

No. The runtime remains constant regardless of the terrain. When driving downhill, energy is fed back into the battery through recuperation. This means that the grooming time remains virtually unchanged, regardless of whether you are grooming cross-country trails or steep slopes.

How does the outside temperature affect performance?

The Snow Cat has been developed for extreme temperature ranges – from icy winter conditions to summer use:

The battery is actively heated or cooled as needed.
The technology used is specially designed for challenging environmental conditions.

The result: there is no loss of performance due to heat or cold.

How long does it take for the Snow Cat to fully recharge?

The charging time depends on the charger used:

300 kW high-speed charger: approx. 45 minutes (10%–80%)
150 kW charger: approx. 90 minutes (10%–80%)
30 kW charger: approx. 7 hours (10%–80%)

How much does a Snow Cat cost?

The costs are comparable to a snow groomer of a similar performance class – but with significantly lower operating and maintenance costs.

How much can I save with a Snow Cat?

Savings of up to 80% are possible. The savings potential depends on factors such as electricity prices, driving style, and the comparison model.

Our e-cost calculator provides an individual and objective overview. In addition, maintenance costs are significantly lower thanks to the absence of high-pressure oil pumps and fewer wear parts.

What is the payload of the Snow Cat?

With the quick-change system, the loading area can be removed and up to 3 tons of payload can be transported – ideal for transporting materials and people.

Can the Snow Cat also be used in summer?

Yes. With rubber tracks, the Snow Cat becomes an off-road summer vehicle, perfect for transport and service operations on steep terrain.

How is maintenance carried out?

The electrical system significantly reduces maintenance requirements. Typical service work on high-pressure hydraulics is completely eliminated. If necessary, the service team provides support via remote access or directly on site.

How quickly can xelom help with problems?

All Snow Cats have an integrated SIM card for remote diagnostics. Most problems can be solved immediately remotely. If there is a mechanical problem, a service technician will be dispatched immediately.
