Hiab showcases electric powered Multilift Futura skiploader
HIAB, part of Cargotec, unveiled its electric powered skiploader concept vehicle at the Freight in the City Expo, London, that has been developed in partnership with Dutch electric vehicle manufacturer EMOSS.
The company said in a statement that the electric-powered skiploader matches the load handling capabilities of a diesel skiploader truck.
"We have developed, in partnership with EMOSS, a 100 per cent electric concept truck featuring the latest-generation Multilift Futura 12 skiploader and an ePTO [electric Power Take-Off] solution.
"As it operates silently and with no CO2 or nitrogen oxide emissions, this fully-electric skiploader is ideal for businesses that involve urban deliveries or out-of-hours operations," said Hiab director, product business management, demountables, Henri Janhonen.
Together with the skiploader, Hiab also presented its loader crane with an ePTO at the expo, as well as the Moffett E-Series truck mounted forklift, which is a lithium-ion powered truck mounted forklift and is emission free. The ePTO loader crane was launched on the market in 2014 and the Moffett E-series the year before.
"As the demand for more environmentally-friendly and emission-free products grows, we want to stay in the driver's seat. We know that our customers are facing a tougher and more demanding load handling environment, especially in the larger cities, with emission regulations not easing the demand for logistics," said Hiab senior vice president, truck mounted forklifts, Keith Quigley.
