New Mecalac eS1000 swing loader

To meet increasing demand for more environmentally-friendly construction projects, Mecalac has developed a range of 100% electric machines. The brand launched its very first 11-ton electric excavator, the e12, in 2022. To complement this offering, Mecalac has released a 1,000-litre electric swing loader called the eS1000.

Based on the design of the Mecalac AS1000, the all-new eS1000 has been developed to achieve zero tailpipe emissions. For operators and the general public, comfort, noise and vibration have been minimised, making it possible to use the machine both indoors and in sensitive environments. The swing loader architecture results in an economy of movement. This translates into reduced cycle times, noise and visual nuisance, maintenance costs and risks of accidents, as well as a lower impact on the environment.

While diesel versions of the swing loader limit fuel consumption through this economy of motion, the electric eS1000 loader version uses precisely the right amount of energy for the task in hand, while optimising energy use for an unprecedented 8-hour battery life. In terms of stability, whatever is lifted by the bucket at the front, once the rear axle is locked, can be turned through 180 degrees without any loss of steadiness, even with the wheels at full lock, reckons Mecalac.

Mecalac aims to revolutionise urban worksites with its range of 100% electric products. Three electric Mecalac machines on the same urban site will save an average of 64 tons of CO2 per annum, compared to the same models fitted with diesel engines. In addition, Mecalac's zero-emission solutions limit noise pollution, offer the possibility to work indoors, and lower overall maintenance and operational costs (with fuel replaced with electricity).
