Schäffer says the new loader offers emission-free and quiet operation, making it ideal for work indoors or in areas sensitive to noise
Schäffer has unveiled a new compact loader equipped with an electric motor drive. The loader is currently available overseas.
The company says its new 14e is based on its previous compact multifunctional loader the 1422, saying that the new model enables emission-free and quiet operation.
Schäffer says this quality opens up numerous areas of application, such as working indoors and in areas that are sensitive to noise. A wide range of attachments is also available.
Thanks to its low operating weight, the loader can be used on delicate floor surfaces and transported on a car trailer.
The new loader is very compact, with a width starting from 0.89 metres and a height of 1.99 metres.
This allows it to negotiate low and narrow passages with ease and puts it among the most compact loaders Schäffer has ever built.
Quick and easy transport
With an operating weight of just 1,345 kg, the 14e and its attachments can be transported quickly and easily on a car trailer.
The lifting height at the tool pivot is 2.23 metres and the hydraulic output is 28 l/min. The electric and conventional models also offer an identical lifting capacity of 810 kg.
The 14e is equipped with energy-efficient LED lights and LED working headlights. A 9.6 kW electric motor sends power to the hydrostatic drive with automotive control and the working hydraulics.
The motor is powered by a 48 V lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 12.2 kWh, enabling operating times of up to two and a half hours for medium-duty loading activities where no hydraulic attachments are used.
The battery can be charged either from commercially available wallboxes with a type 2 plug or from 230 V power outlets. Charging the battery to 80 per cent capacity takes around two and a half hours.
