Questions and Answers
We have collected answers to frequently asked questions related to the FULL ELECTRIC line-up.
FULL ELECTRIC machines are 100% electric and have two electric motors: one for traction and one for boom movements.
- 6.26 FE: The machine is fully electric and can be equipped with an 80 V battery pack of 330 Ah (25 kWh), 440 Ah (33.8 kWh) or 560 Ah (43 kWh). This powers two electric motors: a traction motor with a nominal power of 27 hp and a 13 hp hydraulic services motor.
- Big Range FE: The machine is fully electric and has a 105 Ah (45.6 kWh) battery pack at 435 V. This powers two electric motors: a traction motor with a nominal power of 68 hp and a 31 hp hydraulic services motor.
Depending on battery capacity, autonomy under continuous intensive operation ranges from three to six hours, while autonomy under a standard cycle ranges from six to eleven hours. Many factors can affect autonomy, including the initial battery charge, the environment, weather conditions, weight, attachments, friction, driving style, load, route characteristics and the use of functions such as air conditioning. Actual operating times may therefore vary and differ from the figures stated in the technical data sheets.

- 6.26: Under continuous intensive operation in Eco mode, autonomy can reach 3 hours with the 330 Ah battery, 4 hours with the 440 Ah battery and approximately 6 hours with the 560 Ah battery.
- Big Range: Under continuous intensive operation in Eco mode, autonomy is 3.5 hours with the 105 Ah (45.6 kWh) battery; under non-intensive operation it is 8 hours.
The machine is already optimized to minimize consumption, some adjustments can be made in the way the machine is used, which can limit battery use.
During periods when the machine is not in use, power demand is suspended. If it is not used for more than 10 minutes, the telehandler switches itself off. During long periods of inactivity, keep the vehicle connected to the standard charger rather than the fast charger.
Energy recovery occurs under braking and when the accelerator is released and is automatically activated. Electric motors act as a generator by converting much of the machine’s kinetic energy into electricity, which is stored in the battery, increasing its range. So whether you are braking, or simply lifting the pedal off the accelerator, the battery can be partially recharged with this energy that would otherwise be lost. The regenerated energy becomes significant when traveling long downhill stretches.
Under a standard operating cycle, the 6.26 Full Electric telehandler uses an average of 6.4 kWh of energy. The equivalent diesel model uses 0.92 US gal/h of fuel, corresponding to approximately 15 kWh of energy under the same operating cycle. The Full Electric model is therefore more efficient in energy terms.
The endothermic engine has been replaced by two electric motors, one for traction and one for services, powered by a lithium-ion battery pack located in the engine compartment.
- For the 6.26 Full Electric, the differences compared with the diesel model are: the combustion engine is replaced by two electric motors, one for traction and one for services, powered by an 80 V lithium-ion battery pack in the engine compartment. The 27 hp traction motor is mounted on the front axle. The 13 hp motor driving the hydraulic pump is mounted at the rear.
- For the Big Range Full Electric, the differences compared with the diesel model are: the combustion engine is replaced by a lithium-ion battery pack. A 68 hp traction motor is mounted on the front axle. A separate 31 hp electric motor drives the hydraulic pump.
The battery is designed in such a way as to make the need to replace it entirely highly unlikely. In the circumstance that a battery repair needs to be carried out, the replacement should be done by trained and authorized personnel.
- The life cycle of the battery depends on the way it is handled and the conditions under which it is used.
- The operator can help preserve battery life by choosing traditional charging over fast charging. When using fast recharges, charging the battery to 80% instead of 100% can help protect its lifespan.
From 14°F to 104°F.
From 32°F to 104°F. Keep the machine connected to the electrical supply with the standard charger and check its condition at least every two months.
- Regarding FR00E, it is not possible, they are not compatible by voltage and connector.
- As for FR04E, it is possible to recharge the vehicle at public charging stations
- FR00E: Speed with 16.5-inch wheels (standard): 0–7.5 mph. Speed with 18-inch wheels (optional): 0–9.3 mph.
- FR04E: First-gear speed: 6.2 mph. Second-gear speed: 15.5 mph.
Benefits compared with a diesel model: no scheduled engine servicing or diesel fuel filters to replace. Work on the hydrostatic system is much more limited, as the motor is connected directly to the axle. Unlike a diesel engine, the battery and electric motors do not require maintenance.
