The Latest Buzz in Skid Steers
Electric cars, buses, lorries and machinery in general is the real buzz topic at the moment, and whether we like the idea or not, it appears to be the way things are going in the future.
The latest manufacturer to enter the fray is Czech Republic based Kovaco Electric, who have been researching and developing a range of these electric skid steers for some time now.
This example is a modular designed machine has been built from the battery upwards, and can be supplied with two different battery options. According to the manufacturer the machine will be capable of operating for 8 hours + from a single charge.
I’ll be writing about this machine and my experience test driving it in a future edition of Earthmovers Magazine, but in the meantime enjoy this video, from Peter Haddock which see’s him talk about the machine’s benefits and potential markets with Kovaco Company's Finlay Bassett.
