Great Yorkshire Show Kevin Walker on site plant services Ltd WWW.KRAMERALLRAD.CO.UK NEW KRAMER 5055e pulls the crowds for Kevin Walker » ONCE AGAIN KEVIN WALKER and his team enjoyed a very successful Great Yorkshire Show thanks to their impressive array of machines,a fantastic stand and great hospitality. Am undoubted star on the stand was the all new 5055e, the fully electric all-wheel-steering 5055e wheel loader from Kramer with 80-volt technology The Kramer 5055e is emission-free and is well suited for applications in which CO2 restrictions, soot limits, or noise limits must be respected. Due to the fully electric drive system of the Kramer 5055e, it is possible to perform fully emissionfree work indoors. Because of the lack of emissions and the extremely low noise level, both the end user and the environment are spared. The 5055e not only scores here with its environmentfriendly aspects, but also with its high economic efficiency. The initially high overhead costs are amortised through significantly lower variable costs (e.g. fuel and service costs). The 5055e represents a new class of vehicle – there are currently no fully electric wheel loaders of this size class on the market. The goal is to meet particular customer needs and to offer a fully electric wheel loader with the same performance parameters. So the customer has a choice — fully electric or diesel drive system. Like the dieselpowered 5055, the new 5055e is also delivered with a bucket capacity of 0.55 cubic metres. Performance parameters, off-road capability and operating comfort all correspond to the features of a conventional Kramer diesel wheel loader. Also when it comes to the electric wheel loader, Kramer places value on coordinating the vehicle with a great deal of power in the loading system and a finely metered drive system. One electric motor is installed for the drive system that provides a high level of performance with good resolution. The second electric motor regulates the work hydraulics. Depending on the requirements on the wheel loader and its area of application, the power is supplied by the respective engine. This helps to regulate and reduce the energy consumption. The hydraulics of the 5055e is comparable in performance to that of a diesel-powered machine. However, the hydraulic performance is made available tailored-to-suit via the second electric motor with the 5055e. In this way, the 5055e achieves a higher degree of efficiency and achieves a higher performance with lower costs. The lead-acid batteries, which are time-tested and proven in the forklift industry, are used with the Kramer 5055e. Depending on the area of application and utilisation of the wheel loader, one battery charge is enough for up to six hours of work.
