This 1tonne machine has been designed to meet the needs of customers looking for a machine with low running costs and will suit rental customers. The unit is being built at the firm’s Dobris facility in the Czech Republic and features the same proven chassis components as the E08 and E10z models. Power comes from a lithium ion battery pack and it can operate for four hours on a single charge. The optional 400V charging system allows the machine to be recharged to 80% of capacity in two hours, while it can be recharged overnight from a conventional 230V supply.
