The search for a suitable electric Knikmops began in 2016. The emphasis in this development was on economy, so that the battery size could be kept to a minimum. A small battery pack has many advantages, namely lower weight, shorter charging time, and perhaps most importantly, lower cost. It is the size of the battery that determines the largest part of the cost price of your electric articulated loader. This is how the Knikmops KM 140 E from Gebroeders Geens came into being.
The Belgian manufacturer is now launching not one, but two options for entrepreneurs who want to switch to zero emissions. The Knikmops KM 140 E Standard has a 20 kWh battery, which allows for an average of 5 hours of continuous operation. Charging from 0 to 80% can be done in 1 hour and 45 minutes with the fast charger.
If you would prefer to be able to work longer with your Knikmops, Gebroeders Geens offers the solution. Knikmops KM 140 E EnduranceThanks to its 30 kWh battery, the Knikmop driver can work for around 8 hours, and charging takes 2 hours and 30 minutes with the fast charger.
This allows users to choose which Knikmops is right for them.
Because the well-known power of the Knikmops remains. This articulated loader lifts approximately 1,500 kg, making it very similar in capacity to its diesel counterpart, the Knikmops KM 140. Drivers will also be pleasantly surprised by its driving speed, as the Knikmops KM 140 E can easily reach 16 km/h.
The Knikmops KM 140 E was developed to be able to handle many attachments, just like the diesel version. The combination of a working hydraulic flow of 48 l/min and a maximum pressure of 180 bar makes this machine multifunctional. In addition to the standard bucket and pallet fork, this machine can easily handle the various mowers, mixing buckets, and cutters available from Gebroeders Geens. With a weight of 1550 kg and a base width of 1.35 m, this Knikmops is perfect for transporting from site to site.
Gebroeders Geens conducted extensive tests with the electric Knikmops KM 140 E to assess its capabilities and identify areas for further improvement. To this end, they collaborated with local entrepreneurs, who tested the articulated loader in practice.
Many questions about electric applications come from the renovation sector. Here, workers often work in confined spaces with low ceilings, where exhaust fumes linger for a long time. To ensure a pleasant working environment for employees, electric alternatives are more readily considered. For example, the Knikmops KM 140 E has already been used on a construction site at a local abbey. There, the electric Knikmops was an immediate win-win, as the abbey's residents value peace and quiet.
Silence and tranquility are also often very important in urban environments. Last year, many people chose to beautify their gardens, possibly with a swimming pond. This requires moving a lot of soil quickly, but with as little noise pollution for the neighbors as possible. The electric Knikmops KM 140 E offers the solution. The humming sound of electric motors is much less likely to be perceived as disturbing.
This allows Knikmops to easily maintain its core values: compact, multifunctional, and durable. The compact steel chassis is robust and designed for heavy-duty work. This allows workers to truly benefit from the helping hand of the Knikmops, this time without emissions.
Developments do not stand still at Gebroeders Geens, Belgian machinery manufacturer.
