Once the battery is fully charged, a work application of up to five hours can take place with the wheel loader WL20e – enough time for typical applications, such as loading and transporting goods over short distances. A lead-acid battery is used that is time-tested and proven in the industrial sector. To charge, an electrical connection of 400 volts is required, which is available on most construction sites. For the charging process, the engine hood is opened and the battery connected to the
battery charger. The corresponding plug receptacle is installed on the machine such that it is protected against dust and splash-water. With a height of 2.19 meters and a width of just one meter, the wheel loader can easily be used in confined spaces or in buildings. The articulated pendulum joint allows the machine to remain stable even on uneven floors. As the front and rear ends can oscillate independently of each other, the wheels always have
maximum traction. With an operating weight of 2,300 kilograms, the batteryoperated wheel loader WL20e achieves a tipping load of 1,416 kilograms – around 200 kilograms more than the conventional machine. The shovel capacity with a standard bucket is 0.2 cubic meters. The battery-powered wheel loader WL20e supplements the series with the first model with an electric drive system for emissionfree work.
