They will arrive soon, the first electric telehandlers. Due to demand from the Dutch market, the introduction of the fully electric variant has been brought forward.

The MRT 2260 / 2660 Vision plus types are equipped as standard with a 700V 65 KW lithium-ion battery and an 11 kW charger. In this version, the rotating telehandler can be used for 4 hours. As an option, the telehandler can be equipped with a 2nd lithium-ion battery of the same capacity, doubling the deployment time to 8 hours.
During breaks or when the telehandler is stationary, it is possible to charge the batteries and extend the deployment.
There is also the option to place a range extender in the machine instead of the 2nd battery.
This is a small diesel engine that can charge the battery to extend the working day. This can also be used to maintain the battery level while driving. As an option, the electric rotary telehandler can also be equipped with a
22 or 40 kW charger.
In addition, the option of fast charging is being examined, but this is highly dependent on the location where the telehandler will be deployed.
