Digging Into Battery Power: Mini-Digger Uses Vanguard™ Battery Packs

*This content is brought to you in partnership with Briggs & Stratton (Vanguard)*

The demand for zero-emission construction equipment is increasing all over the world, and Europe is no exception. In Poland, ELGO-PLUS specializes in developing industrial equipment that delivers uncompromising performance while also meeting the emissions and noise restrictions common in urban construction projects.

When ELGO-PLUS began development of a new battery-powered mini-digger, its expectations of the final product were high. It needed to deliver big performance in small spaces and stand up to tough operating conditions. For that to happen, its power source needed to be ruggedly built with a high output-to-weight ratio. Fast charging and clear communication of the battery’s state of charge were also mandatory.

See how ELGO-PLUS and Vanguard determined that 48V 7kWh* fixed battery packs (Fi7.0) were the ideal solution to give the new mini-digger big power and long runtimes — so users get more productivity with less downtime.
