Electric Drive Motor Retrofit

Looks like AVANT is now producing a fully electric loader … proof that it's a working concept …

Wonder what they price out at?

Looks like it’s all hydraulic too. Pumps driven by the electric motor. Seems like that would be a fairly easy conversion to the PT.

For the 20% efficiency gain, I would think that they would have it be electric drive vs hydraulic driven off an electric motor.
That is how most electric forklifts are setup.

Works for 2 hours and charges for 4 hours. That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

It said something about it can work while it's charging.... what could that be about?

I assume in a barn or something, where your not moving far, you could run it while plugged in.

Maybe it's got a stick like the bumper cars?

Maybe to power stationary things like water pump, chipper, splitter, concrete mixer, massage recliner, hot tub you know the usual things.
