Tobroco-Giant has introduced its first electric, zero-emissions compact wheel loaders, along with three new articulated loaders.

The G2200E and G2200E X-TRA are equipped with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery that has a minimum capacity of 12.3 kilowatts. The loaders are designed for indoor operations or urban construction sites. The articulated loaders deliver nearly silent operation.

The loaders have two separate electric motors of 6.5 kilowatts to drive the machine and 11.5 kilowatts for hydraulics.

The standard G2200E has a lift height of 9 feet 4 inches and a capacity of 3,657 pounds. The X-TRA version has a lift capacity of 4,850 pounds and lift height of 8 feet for construction and earthmoving applications.

The company offers four lithium-ion battery choices with varying charge lengths under normal conditions: 6.4 kilowatt hours for 2-hour capacity; 12.3 kWh for 4 hours; 18.4 kWh for 6 hours; and 24.6 kWh for 8 hours. Tobroco-Giant says the batteries last three times longer than conventional batteries and have fast charging times.

The loaders can be equipped with an onboard charger and can charge a battery to 50 percent within 30 minutes. The loaders also require less maintenance because they have fewer moving parts and no engine filters or fluids to replace.

The operator station has three options: cabin, safety roof or foldable safety roof.
