Tomorrow we will plan to pick-up the final version of the new E-PowerBarrow 2.0 electric wheelbarrow for testing purposes. Soon we will provide more photo's of the new product.

After some delay due to custom clearance we finally received our new samples for the E-PowerBarrow 2.0 electric wheelbarrow. This week we will discuss the mounting of the new battery housing so we can create two new running samples. We expect the samples to be ready in week 34 2024. The housing only needs two adapters to fit under the Altrad Fort SMB-100 wheelbarrow. One sample will be given to Altrad Fort for customer testing, the other sample will stay with us for final testing. Regarding the production we have the HUB motors already available, we just need battery housing with controller, and throttle. 

Robot builders often ask us for encoders to operate our HUB motors more accurately. Because we would like to continue in this market, we are doing everything we can to equip our motors with encoders. We are now making progress in this regard and, in collaboration with our customer, we will equip the new 16-inch HUB motor with an encoder that can generate 2486 pulses per round. This encoder will be placed as an external housing between the wheel and the controller. As soon as we have more technical information we will share it.

It's almost time. The new 16 inch HUB engine with a power of 2.1Kw and a torque of 900Nm will be added to our range. At the time of this writing, the boat is sailing towards the port of Rotterdam. This new engine was developed in collaboration with Gebr. Ezendam from Borne. The development process took more than two years, but it was worth the wait. It has become a high-quality product that we, together with our partner from Taiwan, the manufacturer from China, Gebr. Ezendam from Borne and the customers who have been able to test the samples extensively can be proud of. The engine will be available for sale in mid-March 2024.

We receive a lot of questions about the new E-PowerBarrow electric wheelbarrow. Here is some more background information. Around the end of November 2023 we will receive 1 new sample of a drive set for the new electrically powered wheelbarrow from our partner in Taiwan. This sample is a drive set that we need to test the functionality. The drive set that will be developed in the future can be mounted on almost any wheelbarrow. Initially we will use the more expensive Fort SMB-100 wheelbarrow for this. After building the first wheelbarrow model, we will test it ourselves. If we agree with the product, we will give the wheelbarrow to a heavy user for testing in collaboration with Altrad Fort. In the meantime, two more samples are coming this way from Taiwan for testing. If the set passes these tests, we will start production. It will now...

Elektrisch gereedschap: Op dit moment wordt er veel getest met onze nieuwe E-PowerBarrow 2x2 elektrische kruiwagen. Deze kruiwagen is ontwikkelt om meer te vervoeren en tegelijkertijd niet tot nauwelijk te hoeven tillen en niet meer duwen. De E-PowerBarrow 2x2 krijgt het formaat van een kruiwagen en kan evenveel werk verzetten als een mini-dumper. De E-PowerBarrow 2x2 wordt op dit moment getest op een paardenboerderij en bij een hovenier. Indien meer hovenieren interesse hebben in een test met deze kruiwagen dan horen wij het graag. Aandrijftechniek Ook hier wordt er hard gewerkt aan een twee nieuwe naafmotoren. Beide zitten in een 16" velg. De ene motor zal een vermogen krijgen van 2.1Kw en de tweede motor ongeveer de helft. De maximale snelheid wordt opgevoerd naar 10km/u. De 2.1Kw motor krijgt een trekkracht van ruim...

Recent hebben wij contact gehad met ons Taiwaneese partner over het houden van Lithium accu's in de winter. Ons is verteld dat Lithium accu's geen schade ondervinden door opslag van de accu in lage temperaturen voor meerdere dagen. Uiteraard zal wel de capaciteit in werkuren omlaag gaan. Niettemin kan een lithium accu dus gewoon buiten in de vorst worden bewaard zonder dat dit schadelijk is voor de levensduur van de accu.
