Elgo-Plus, a manufacturer of mini-excavators, has introduced the Elgo-Plus Springer Max-EB electric mini-digger.
The compact, battery-powered unit can work in confined spaces, is capable of fast recharging and complies with the sort of carbon and noise emissions restrictions typically found in urban environments. A notable feature is its ability to rotate 360°.
The Springer Max-EB is 2.6 fet (80 cm) wide and features a 3 kW 48 V electric motor from Benevelli.
The Brześć Kujawski, Poland-headquartered company opted to go with Briggs & Stratton for the Springer Max-EB’s battery needs based on past experience with the company.
“The Briggs & Stratton Vanguard lithium-ion Fi7.0 batteries answered every requirement and have delivered excellent results in terms of productivity and performance,” said Andrzej Zielinski, the company’s CEO.
The Springer Max-EB’s energy is supplied by two Vanguard 48 V 7.0 kWh fixed battery packs that support a running time of five hours. Charging takes four hours using a standard 230 V charger, but charging speed increases when using a 400 V charger, the company said.
Tomas Mika, Manager for Regional Sales in Central Europe at Briggs & Stratton, said that Elgo-Plus’s choice of his firm as its battery supplier was “ideal” because of the Max-EB’s “compact design, power density and lengthy continuous runtime.”
The new battery-powered digger is available now throughout Continental Europe. It comes with a Danfoss Turolla Shark 6 cc hydraulic pump, a Vanguard 1,050 W onboard charger, a charging cable, a ripping tool, three buckets and LED lights. It has an MSRP of €20,800.
