Operating the new EXVO electric Skid Steer

What's the new EXVO EX245R electric Skid Steer like to operate?

Peter Haddock spoke to Conor Traynor after he demonstrated the machine in a builders merchant yard. 

Conor: “Sitting in the seat it's very comfortable, and there is plenty of room. Of course, with it being electric, you get that instant power, and it's very responsive. 

“The joysticks themselves allow you to toggle between your modes for moving the machine, like cruise control, boom suspension and the hydraulic speeds for operating the various attachments.

“So you can set it up to your own preferences for different types of jobs. For example, you can lift the boom up to 3.6 metres, which is great for using the forks to lift materials on and off flatbed trucks on this site. 

“And for these applications, the visibility is good, and you don’t have to get too close to the van. 

“Getting into the machine is simple, and I opted for keeping the folding door latched up to make it easier to hop out and change the attachments. 

“Doing this is straightforward as you secure each attachment using the quick change lever, which ensures it’s locked in place safely.”
