than its diesel or gasoline counterpart due to less vibrations from the absence of the combustible engine . Most electric units are simply displacing the original diesel engine with a battery and electric motor to run the already proven existing hydraulic system . Now some of the population hasn ’ t jumped on board with 100 % electric equipment and some of their reasoning for being against it is valid . From equipment run time not being able to complete
a project , to charge station locations , to the grid infostructure being overloaded , to 100 % electric not being really 100 % sustainable . But there are some great benefits to these electric pieces of equipment to the non- electric fans out there . With the equipment manufacturer engineers hard at work trying to get these electric machines running for long periods of time they ’ ve made drastic changes in the efficiency of the hydraulic systems , both propel and function circuits . These changes help reduce power needed to do the same amount of work and less power means more battery run time . Now how does that help the contractor still not on board with this 100 % electric kick and still running diesel ? Well , this increased engineered efficiency change of the hydraulic system is usually implemented across the board even to the diesel or gasoline version of the same style equipment that has been in production for years . With all this added efficiency implemented to an already very capable , proven , and efficient piece of equipment you ’ ll lower your total cost of operation even further . Not only in fuel savings cost but also initial purchase cost because you ’ ll need less horsepower to do the same workload and there is no need to purchase larger horsepower engines . In some cases when less horsepower engine is needed it allows you to drop to a low enough horsepower to avoid DEF fluid ; think about the savings on that ! All these cost of operation savings help keep more money in the owner ’ s pocket ... and guess what less horsepower also has a smaller carbon footprint ! That right there is thrive-ability !
