The iconic Elephant® BETA is now available in a Fully Electric version. Built on a Vestergaard electric chassis with 160 kwh battery, the Elephant® e-BETA Fully Electric sports all the well-known efficiency and reliability of the Elephant® BETA.
The e-BETA Fully Electric has a 22 kwh onboard charger so full charge can take 6-7 hours. With access to DC loading, the charging time is reduced to 1 hour. With a fully charged battery, the unit can operate for 6-9 hours. The Elephant® e-BETA Fully Electric can reduce local greenhouse gas emissions including carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides to zero. If pre-heated fluids are available, there is no diesel usage at all, and if not, the e-BETA Fully Electric is equipped with the most efficient heater on the market.
The Elephant® e-BETA Fully Electric has the same features as the rest of the Elephant® BETA family with a boom and 12-meter telescope which can position the nozzle within one meter of the surface of the entire aircraft. The ergonomic operator cabin, equipped with dual screens and intuitive joysticks, delivers superior visibility and a comfortable working environment.
If pre-heated fluid is available, there will be no diesel use, however, if you do need to heat the fluid onboard, the e-BETA Fully Electric is equipped with the most efficient heater on the market.
