MECALAC is adding to its electric equipment offering with the launch of its new eS1000 swing loader.
The manufacturer has developed a range of 100% electric machines, including its first 11-ton electric excavator, the e12, in 2022.
The latest release is the all-new 1000-litre electric swing loader. The eS1000 is based on the design of the Mecalac AS1000 and has been developed to achieve zero tailpipe emissions.
The firm explained that the swing loader ‘architecture’ results in an ‘economy of movement’, which translates into reduced cycle times, noise and visual nuisance, maintenance costs and risks of accidents, as well as a lower impact on the environment.
While diesel versions of the swing loader limit fuel consumption through this economy of motion, the electric eS1000 loader version uses ‘precisely’ the right amount of energy for applications, while optimising energy use for an eight-hour battery life.
Once the rear axle is locked, whatever is lifted by the bucket at the front can be turned through 180° without any loss of steadiness, even with the wheels at full lock, Mecalac added.
