Kramer offers a fully electric wheel loader to its customers from summer 2016 on. The 5055e convinces with zero emissions, its performance parameters, off-road capability and low service costs.
Construction site operators are facing a challenge when it comes to diesel-powered vehicles being used in buildings, on urban job sites or even in tunnels. Thanks to the new, fully electric drive of the Kramer 5055e, it is now possible to work indoors completely free of emissions. Both operators and the environment are protected by the zero emissions and the extremely low noise level.
The wheel loader not only scores with its economic advantages, but also with its high profitability. The initially higher investment costs are quickly amortized due to the significantly lower maintenance costs. The usual maintenance intervals of the machine are to be observed in any case, so that the wheel loader can work reliably and economically. There is no maintenance of the engine and the machine's service is correspondingly shorter and therefore lower priced. Furthermore, the price advantage of electric power compared to diesel fuel should be noted, as it provides for potential savings.
In the size class of 0.55 m³ bucket capacity, Kramer is presenting the first fully electric wheel loader on the market with the 5055e. Performance parameters, off-road capability and operating comfort correspond to the conventional model. Kramer places a great deal of value on the coordination of elements and components to allow for precise driving. Two electric motors were installed for this purpose: one for the work hydraulics and one for the drive system. Depending on the application of the wheel loader, the power is demanded from the corresponding motor. This helps to keep the energy consumption as low as possible. The electric motor is operated by proven lead acid rechargeable batteries or lead-fleece rechargeable batteries. Depending on the area of application and utilization of the wheel loader, one battery charge suffices for a work operation of up to five hours.
The charge time of the machine is between four and eight hours, depending on the options.
"We are pleased that we can offer our customers an emission-free and environmentally friendly machine. We are certain that this product will make an important contribution to the resource conservation and efficiency increase of our customers," says Karl Friedrich Hauri, director of Kramer.
At GaLaBau2016 in Nuremberg, the 5055e will be exhibited at the Wacker Neuson Group stand in industrial building 7, stand 412. The audience will have the opportunity to experience the machine and to ask their questions to experts on site.
