As of now, Kramer is offering a fully electric wheel loader to its customers. Following the bauma Innovation Award 2016, it has now been awarded with the “Maskinentreprenörens Teknikpris 2017”. The 5055e offers zero emissions, excellent performance and off-road capability, plus low service costs.
The jury agreed that it is an outstanding achievement not only to present a pure concept study, but also to have and already deliver a functioning marketable electric wheel loader in the product portfolio. In addition, according to the “Maskinentreprenörens” magazine, you do not have to make any compromises with the 5055e, as the vehicle is on a par with a diesel-powered wheel loader. At the same time, users are taking responsibility for their environment by using an emission-free wheel loader with low noise levels.
In the size class of 0.55 m³ bucket capacity, by creating the 5055e wheel loader Kramer’s is producing the first fully electric wheel loader on the market. The performance parameters, off-road capability and operating comfort are equal to the conventional model. Kramer emphasises the co-ordination of parts and components to allow precise operation. To achieve this, two electric motors are used: one for the work hydraulics and one for the drive. Depending on the application, power is automatically provided by the respective engine, which helps to minimise energy consumption. The electric motor is powered using reliable lead-acid accumulators or lead-fleece accumulators. Depending on the area of application and utilisation of the wheel loader, a single charge lasts up to five hours of operation. The charge time of the machine is between six and eight hours, depending on the option.
