Electric vehicles have already become quite common road users. That is, if a person has enough capital for them and is not afraid to invest in new technologies. But did you know that a similar trend is followed by construction machinery – mainly excavators, especially small ones?

The word “bargain“, which has already become popular in our country, comes from the German word “bugger“. From English, the designation “excavator” came again (English “excavator“). But excavators are probably the most popular in our country. “mini excavator“, or precisely in Czech “mini excavator” or “mini excavator“, is considered a machine weighing up to 5-6 tons. Compared to the world\’s largest excavators weighing up to 900 tons, they are really “little things.”

Oil and electricity

Excavators are designed for digging and moving materials in the soil. The basic parts consist of buckets (slang “shovels”) of various types and shapes as needed, arms and booms, cabins with seats and controls for mechanics, and chassis. In the mini-panel, the chassis is made of rubber bands and is equipped with a diesel (or diesel engine) engine.

But the electric mini waterfall is no longer an exception. Individual world manufacturers overtake each other in production, so it is not so clear who was the first (to someone other than the famous pioneer JCB, but 1 thing is clear: JCB in the UK already has 50 of these machines, for example Bobcat is one of the manufacturers that makes electric mini excavators).

Why is the “Electro Bugger”?

Electric mini pads are especially useful when there are strict limits on radiation and noise. It does not emit exhaust gases and is much quieter. It can be used in urban areas as well as in buildings. They are certified by the automotive industry and have rechargeable batteries that can withstand the entire shift of work. Charging is promised by the manufacturer very quickly, even within 2 hours.

In an era of fighting greenhouse gases and oil remaining in the world, this seems like an ideal solution. At first glance, this can help, but in the background of the production of batteries and other components, this is quite controversial. But it could be another time.
