Wacker Neuson is anticipating plenty of
attention surrounding one of its most advanced
releases thisyear in the formof itsWL20ewheeled
loader.
It is believed to be the first of its type with an
electric drive system for emission-freework.
TheWL20e’s development follows the company
winning an Intermat Innovation Award for its
803dual power excavator.
Its latest loader has two electric motors, one
for the drive system and one for the hydraulics.
The off-road capability is said to be similar to the
diesel-drivenmodelWL20.
According to the company, emissions can be
reduced by up to -43% over conventionally
powered excavators; which in turn has a positive
effect in terms of noise reduction.
The energy costs are said to be significantly
below those of a diesel-operated model, with
savings of up to+50% are possible.
There are also additional cost advantages in the
maintenance and service intervals, since fewer
elements and components are used that are
exposedor could fail.
Once the battery is fully charged, a work
applicationof up tofivehours can takeplacewith
thewheel loaderWL20e–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.
