Intelligent electrical drive for the rail

The ELEFANT R12 2-way vehicle from Turicum Engineering has a hybrid drive. Its rail-mounted chassis is equipped with an electric drive and is designed for travelling on gradients of up to 80 per mille. The electro-hydraulic working platform with a working height of 11.5 metres offers optimum efficiency. The utility vehicle can be easily manoeuvred out of the basket and can be used on narrow and standard gauge tracks. The Elefant R12 is also equipped with an anti-lock braking system and anti-slip control when mounted.

Energetic and persistent
With its 100kWh lithium battery, the Elefant R12 masters its work effortlessly and enduringly in electric mode. The Elefant R12 is powered by the built-in battery in all work modes. Its sustainable safety concept ensures that empty batteries are not a problem. If the battery is exhausted, the hybrid commercial vehicle switches to the diesel engine. Until the next power socket is reached, all units of the hybrid telescopic handler are powered by the combustion engine and the battery is recharged. During transfer journeys, the battery is always charged in eco mode when the vehicle is in pushing mode. This protects the brakes and makes optimum use of the energy.

For maximum economic workflows
In addition to ecology, Turicum Engineering hybrid commercial vehicles focus on efficient work processes. This is why the Elefant R12 has also been equipped with 3D environment detection, which recognises hazards in front of the vehicle and provides the driver with optimum support during work.

Moving the lorry without leaving the basket
The special feature of the 2-way Elefant R12 vehicle is its intelligent zControl control system. It is no longer necessary to leave the basket to manoeuvre the vehicle. The entire vehicle can be manoeuvred by electric drive in both rail and road mode. An absolute advantage in terms of efficiency and speed.
