We are proud to welcome the EW240 Electric Material Handler, the latest addition to a range of zero-exhaust machines working towards a carbon-neutral future. This machine is ready to help you build a more sustainable world.

Reduce your energy costs

Reduce your energy costs

A move to an electric machine can reduce energy-related costs thanks to the more cost-effective nature of electricity as a power source compared to fuel. What’s more, the electric motor is around 99% efficient and no energy is used when the machine is not moving and working, saving on energy consumption and wear.

Less maintenance

Less maintenance

Because the EW240 Electric Material Handler has no engine-related consumables such as engine oil, filters and water separator, it means that less maintenance is required. This is how EW240 Electric Material Handler can dramatically reduce your maintenance costs.  When maintenance actions are required, they can be completed with speed and ease with ground level access to the pump and cooling module. The newly designed electric control cabinet is positioned on the side of the upper frame, just 1 step away.

No need to recharge or refuel

No need to recharge or refuel

Take uptime to a new level thanks to the continuous power connection. The well-protected power cable comes from the ground and connects to the machine under the superstructure, providing a safe, durable and convenient power connection.  With no need to recharge or refuel.

New business horizons

New business horizons

An electric machine can help open up new opportunities for your business. A low noise and zero-tailpipe emissions machine can work where a diesel alternative cannot. Noise sensitive areas, indoors, low carbon zones, unsociable hours – these are all situations when EW240 Electric Material Handler will be your best option.

Zero emissions

Zero emissions

Work indoors at no extra cost thanks to a zero-emission electrical machine. With no diesel engine, there are no exhaust fumes and the machine can be used 24/7 with no effect on the air around it. Because it is clean and quiet, the EW240 Electric Material Handler is perfect for any indoor application.

Lower operating cost

Lower operating cost

Reduce energy-related costs thanks to the more cost-effective nature of electricity as a power source compared to fuel. Because the EW240 Electric Material Handler has no engine-related consumables, it also means that less maintenance is required, further lowering your operating costs.

No idling costs

No idling costs

On a site where machines are sometimes left idling, they still cost even though they are not contributing to productivity. But when an electrical machine is not moving and working, you are not using any energy, thus saving on energy consumption and wear.
