Electrification of construction machinery
The goal of low-emission driving and thus low-emission working has long since arrived in the construction machinery industry. The electrification of excavators and other construction machinery is a central component of this development. ECHLE is a leader in the retrofitting of construction machinery with electric drives and offers comprehensive solutions for a wide variety of application scenarios. Our electric construction machinery is characterised by innovative technologies, high energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.
We are continuously developing and producing new concepts for the electrification of construction machinery – both fully electric and hybrid solutions are part of our daily business. We provide a tailor-made solution for every electric construction machine, tailored to its specific area of application.
The possibilities of converting construction machinery to electric operation:
Electrification with trailing cable
Conversions to cable-powered electrical construction machinery are particularly suitable where the necessary infrastructure for cable-powered machines is already in place and the machines are used in a stationary manner. A continuous power supply – without any charging times – is ensured by a trailing cable or a cable reel.
Electrification with rechargeable batteries
For mobile applications, the electrification of construction machinery with rechargeable batteries is the ideal solution. Battery-powered electric construction machinery offers maximum flexibility while reducing emissions. Different battery concepts enable us to implement even complex requirements in a targeted manner.
Electrification as a hybrid
Our hybrid solutions represent an efficient form of electrification – especially for inner-city and spatially limited applications. Flexible switching between diesel and electric motors ensures that the electric construction machine remains adaptable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly at all times.
