Finnish spider lift manufacturer Leguan Lifts has announced that it will launch a battery electric power option for its spider lifts at Apex next month in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
The Avant Power OptiTemp battery - built and designed in Finland - is set to be available for all of its models, including the 17 metre 170, 20 metre 195, 22.5 metre 225 and 26.5 metre 265. It uses liquid-immersion cooling to keep the pack at the right temperature with the electric system developed as a complete, integrated package. The company claims operators can work a full day on one charge, with performance comparable to diesel versions without any change to the user interface.
Re-charging
Sales vice president Jori Mylläri said: “The market is switching rapidly towards silent and emission free machinery, and therefore this electrification project has been one of the most important projects in our company’s history.”
“Many hybrid options on the market combine a combustion engine with a small battery pack, offering only limited battery capacity and compromising performance when compared with traditional diesel powered spider lifts. Our OptiTemp-powered lifts, by contrast, are fully electric. The electrified All Terrain series delivers a full day of operation on a single charge and, in many applications, supports multi day projects without recharging, all while maintaining diesel equivalent boom and transition speeds."
