Schäffer presents a new compact loader equipped with an electric motor drive. The Model 14e is based on the concept of the very compact multifunctional loader 1422 and enables emission-free and quiet operation. This opens up numerous areas of application, such as working indoors and in areas that are sensitive to noise. A wide range of attachments is also available. Thanks to its low operating weight, the loader can be used on delicate floor surfaces and transported on a car trailer.

Devices and machines with minimal noise emissions are desired in many working environments. Loaders with conventional drive systems disturb the peace in parks or cemeteries – the noise and exhaust fumes are also harmful to people, animals and the climate. Combustion engines, by their very nature, are unsuitable for use indoors. However, this is also where demand for emission-free tools is increasing.

The new electric loader 14e from Schäffer is designed for many of these applications. Just like the model with a conventional engine, it is very compact with a width starting from 0.89 metres and a height of 1.99 metres. This allows it to negotiate even low and narrow passages with ease. Both models are the most compact loaders Schäffer has ever built.

With an operating weight of just 1,345 kg, the 14e and its attachments can be transported quickly and easily on a car trailer. This makes it the ideal choice for loading and transport activities in gardening and landscaping, in green spaces, amusement parks, zoos and cemeteries, in the vicinity of tourist businesses and for indoor demolition work.

The customary wide range of attachments from Schäffer is also compatible with the 14e and offers maximum flexibility. The lifting height at the tool pivot is 2.23 metres and the hydraulic output is 28 l/min. The electric and conventional models also offer an identical lifting capacity of 810 kg.

The 14e is equipped with energy-efficient LED lights and LED working headlights. A 9.6 kW electric motor sends power to the hydrostatic drive with automotive control and the working hydraulics. The motor is powered by a 48 V lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 12.2 kWh, enabling operating times of up to two and a half hours for medium-duty loading activities where no hydraulic attachments are used.

The battery can be charged either from commercially available wallboxes with a type 2 plug or from 230 V power outlets. With both variants, charging the battery to 80 per cent capacity takes around two and a half hours.

With the 14e, Schäffer is adding a third machine to its electric loader portfolio for the construction and industrial sectors. The wheel loader 24e, which is already established on the market, has a lifting capacity of 1,900 kg, putting it in the 0.5 cubic metre class, while the telescopic wheel loader 24e T has a significantly greater reach thanks to its telescopic arm.
