Medium excavator EW240

rubber-tiredhandlingergonomic

Overview
The EW240 electric material handler is designed for waste, recycling and heavy material-handling applications where continuous, grid-connected power is required. The net-connected configuration eliminates on-site refuelling and battery recharging, reduces noise, vibration and heat, and removes tailpipe emissions to enable operation in noise- or emission-restricted environments.

Key features & benefits

• Grid-connected power (AC 400 V) via a protected ground-fed cable for continuous operation and simplified energy supply.
• Lower operating costs through efficient electric drive (electric motor peak ~90 kW) and no energy consumption during idle periods.
• Reduced maintenance: no engine oil, no traditional engine filters or water separators; ground-level access to pump and cooling module; easily accessible electric control cabinet on the upper frame side.
• Low noise and zero tailpipe emissions: suitable for indoor use, low-emission zones and noise-sensitive sites, and operations outside standard hours.
• Versatility for recycling and waste: compatible with durable grapples, heavy-duty buckets, cable buckets, tilt buckets, low-noise hydraulic breakers, sweepers and multiple quick coupler systems.
• Operator comfort and control: ergonomic dashboard and monitor, optimized hydraulics and joysticks, heated suspended seat, flat right-side visibility, rear and side cameras, LED lighting and electric climate compressor.
