Baumann ELX Range of Electric Sideloaders: designed & built from the ground up

Compact, lightweight, intelligent

The compact AC powered electric ELX is predicted to change the European market for sideloaders. The goal was to produce a highly efficient and durable electric machine capable of efficiently working in small spaces.

Creating a smaller, lightweight chassis, involved designing a series of angled sections to provide stiffness and stability, without excess weight 2.5 tonnes lower than a conventional engine machine. A new steering axle was developed with extra weight added, providing a lower centre of gravity.

  • Efficient, intelligent and tough
  • Under four metres in length
  • Amazing work-cycles

The Range: Mid-Sized, Compact

The ELX was launched following two years of painstaking research, & features an intelligent battery system, redesigned chassis, new wiring schematic, bespoke steering axle & flow matching hydraulic system. This the most compact model ever produced, measuring less than four metres in length & 750mm in deck height.

Baumann ELX Range Key Features

In developing the ELX range the goal was to produce a highly efficient and durable machine capable of working in demanding applications. Electrics offer zero emissions, are cheaper to run and maintain, as well as offering a better operator environment. Noise and cost savings will also benefit long-established companies which have seen towns grow up around them, and are under pressure to cut emissions and noise pollution by neighbours and legislators.

The Baumann ELX Series utilises a bespoke steering axle & flow matching hydraulic system. Through closed-loop control, the hydraulic pressure is adjusted depending on the load, saving energy and improving efficiency.

The innovations, 120v power supply & 2.5 tonnes weight reduction have increased battery performance by up to 30%.

The huge saving in weight allows a larger, ‘intelligent’ battery system, created specifically for Baumann in a bespoke arrangement. This in turn is supplemented by a new AC wiring schematic, featuring individual cables directly connected to each component to provide maximum efficiency.

The reduced length & improved turning circle have been achieved without sacrificing the mast or well width, clearance & low bed height.
