Peter Haddock caught up with product specialist Jas Kundra to find out more. Jas:
“If you’re working indoors and want to keep your emissions low, this is the machine for you, as it delivers high torque, rapid acceleration, and smooth operation.”
“It’s designed on the 906 Next Gen platform but enhanced with a 908 bucket. So the electric 906 actually outperforms its diesel counterpart, thanks to its heavier tail end and built-in counterweight from the battery.” “We have added air conditioning for the operator, which is typically not found on electric machines of this size.”
“With a 64 kWh battery, operators can complete a full day’s work with a lunch-hour charge. They can charge on a three-phase system in just 3 hours and even plug in at home.”
“The 906 is designed as a utility machine, so operators can put forks on the front, move aggregate, level ground, sweep… You name it, it can do it.” Of course, the 906 will be making an appearance at Bauma on the Caterpillar indoor stand in Hall B6 with other electric models. And you will also be able to join in the 100th year celebrations with the team at the event.
