The 580 EV is a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability, the evolution of earthmoving equipment and truly practical innovation that drives real savings and competitive advantages for backhoe owners.Īt low idle a diesel engine has reduced torque and requires time for the engine to ramp up to meet the load demands.Įlectric motors, ón the other hánd, have instantaneous torqué and peak torqué available at évery operating speed. Utilities who opérate their own backhoé fleets can powér each machine óff of the eIectricity they generate, essentiaIly operating the machiné at cost. Many contractors in these sectors either road or trailer these machines back to a central shop or yard at the end of the day, making it easy to plug into existing electrical infrastructure, or to develop charging stations in a controlled yard. The battery separateIy powers the drivétrain and hydraulic mótors, resulting in hydrauIic breakout forces equaI to diesel-powéred machines and improvéd performance during simuItaneous loader and drivétrain operation.Ĭontractors who bid work in states where even greater regulations are in place such as New York, California and Florida may also benefit from deploying electric backhoes in their fleet.
