@@Mutt1952 Go buy one lol.
These machines are perfect for Urban Contractors where noise and pollution could become issues. They can also work inside enclosed spaces and buildings where combustion gases would be a major safety problem. As someone with experience of Chinese imported goods, be prepared for lots of topsy turvy container packing and transit damage. One of the best ways to get past the damage issues in transit is to order at least one extra machine as spares. Breaking a whole machine for spare parts is often more cost effective than buying the spares individually from the manufacturer and covers your potential major component warranty service provision. Just work the costs into your List Price. The margins are there for you to be able to provide professional spares / service backup. Best of luck with Nesher Equipment
Only way someone is going to use something like this commercially is if it has the stamina to work all day between charges, and stay working without breaking long term. Access to hydro could be an issue as well. For a rural home owner with the disposable income to buy a machine to fart around with these would be perfect.
@@juliogonzo27183-Phase power packs a punch in Europe towns. Just run it on a cable like industry does in confined spaces, no battery issues
Yea just send the pollution elsewhere right? 😂😂🤣
@@flight2k5 70% of our electricity comes from burning coal or natural gas. EV's are "external combustion vehicles" that smugly put their pollution elsewhere.
@@flight2k5 electric generation is far more environmentally friendly than gas combustion engines, even coal power plants. the efficiency is vastly different. plus EPA standards force many power plants to scrub their exhaust gasses to remove many harmful contaminants, unlike gas combustion powered vehicles.

We bought an American made fridge, the brand was called Crosby, supoosedly the best with a 10 year warranty. The compressor died in 1 year and when we called the warranty department they told us to go pound sand. Buying US doesnt always mean youll get the after sale support!
so true - it's always let the buyer beware - everywhere
I doubt the compressor is made in America tho
As a lifelong builder, I’ve kept up with market trends and have never heard of “Crosby”. However with a little research I found “Crosley” appliances which you probably meant and I recognized it as a classic American brand (car guy), but after doing some research I found that although they claim manufacturing of their appliances is by (Frigidaire) and laundry appliances (Whirlpool), the majority are manufactured in China. Online information is limited regarding current ownership and history of the “Crosley” name, but it appears as another one of those companies that “claimed an unprotected brand identity”, I.e. has no affiliation with the Crosley family heirs and are selling a recognizable name from a bygone era, not high quality, American made products. Thanks for the inspiration to research the Crosley Brands, it was quite interesting. There’s also two separate Crosley brands.
Regardless of those findings, sorry you were hosed by a company whose “Limited” 10 Year Warranty on Parts, wasn’t what you were told and one year!… Heck, my parents had over 40 apartments built in 76-82 and 75%+ had the original (working) refrigerators when the apartments were sold in 2010. ✌🏻
@@chrisE815 some nice cope you got there. My f150 radiator hoses had just recently burst, luckily I had enough water to get back home to repair it. Ford engineered the y-fitting out of plastic. Plastic. The brass fitting replacement was $6 at lowes. I can't imagine how many coins Ford mustve shaved to buy their in house designed part.
When I took the truck to get a rotation, the techs couldn't remove the lug nuts because good ole' american Ford decided to use aluminum capped lug nuts, which swelled past the point of the normal 21mm socket. It took them over half an hour to free their own socket from the swollen capped nut and refused to do the rotation until after I installed after market, solid lug nuts. I had to use a 1-1/8 metal hole bit to drill past the cap to reveal the actual lug nut below. Wake up, american companies are complete trash now that value engineers obsolescence into the products to maximize "shareholder" returns. Frankly, I couldn't give 💩💩 about buying american anymore.
@@LincolnLog I'm with you brother. Hope we start designing and producing things worth buying one day.
These little vehicles are really neat I’ll give it too this company. They really make them decent looking and affordable. Loved the little dragon nice little gift and thank you.
When you use the auger, to remove the dirt that builds up on the auger you pull it out of the hole and hit reverse on the auger so the auger spins the dirt off of it. You don't want to jerk your wheel back and forth like that because it will start to wear the steering system out.
It does not spin fast enough for that since it is running on the aux hydraulic line supposed to only supply the bucket lock cyliders with a throw of 2" and no force....
Don't use reverse. Just pull it out of the hole and turn it forwards. It will spread much farther than way. If you use reverse you pour a bunch back into your hole
Or you can get the hole started then have your workers, kids, or his pops grab some damn post while diggers and finish it 😂😂😢....😮😂😂😂
As a retired veteran of the utility sized construction equipment business I really appreciate this type of quality machinery. It makes me want to get back into the business.
That's cool. I would've liked to know more about the capabilities, capacities, charging times and and how long they can work per charge.
Nice job 👍
I love the little gift they put in there, Chinese people are so cool lmao
Why are you laughing your arse off? What was the joke?

I'd love to see a followup video with how they've done after 6 months to a year and how long the batteries last on say a full days worth of use moving things around.
Would also be good to see an experienced operator's take on them to give a more apples to apples comparison so people will have a better idea where they stack up compared to traditional equipment.
and when the battery dies mid job and the digger is stuck on site!
@@leeneal6969 and 5 minutes from power on your property 🤣😂🤣
I guess those are not really targeted to operations where they get a workout for a full shift.
But I can imagine they really find a good place, if you need something like this just every now and then, move a few buckets of dirt here, drill some holes there.
It is like with the digger attachement. Does it replace a full blown excavator? no, sure not. But can it handle quite a number of those once in a while we need a ditch or a smaller hole tasks? sure it will.
But a comparison like @donhappel9566 mentioned would indeed be interesting. also to see how much load they can handle.
I don´t think those things are something for a contruction company or a full time landscaping business. But a smaller nursery or just your retirement hobby farm? Even possibly those once in a while jobs on a golf course, Could be great.
@@leeneal6969 urban construction sites have HV power access, and would be small enough you could just run vehicles on power cables, with some guys following it around making sure it doesn't run over the cable. For rural jobs, add a battery trailer, bingo bango.
It would be interesting to watch another review about these machines in a year of extensive usage.
I'm blown away by how affordable you've made these machines 11000 for a new machine in the US is unheard of. I have seen diesel zero turn mowers go for more than that I'm impressed and as someone who is looking for a small machine to do work on the property this is perfect.
Plus they have attachments that can do more things and dont cost a fortune
It's sad that we can't produce something as efficient and affordable here in the US.
The excavator on the site is way overpriced tho at $22k. You can get a gas AGT for $4500 new. It can't be $18000 better.
Put one into actual hard work and you'll soon find out why they're only 11K.
Don't get me wrong, cheap Chinese machines are ok for a home/small holding owner but not in full-on commercial use.
you've fell for the bait my brother. American goods are not more expensive because the quality is higher. American goods are more expensive because of ever increasing 1% siphoning as much money as humanly possible out of out citizens@@deezelfairy
Consider adding a welded guard around the larger machines hydraulic sight gauge. Looks bashable.
That was my exact thought too.
My thoughts as well as soon as I saw it in the video
Those look like very solid and high quality for the hobby farm crowd. I cannot wait to see the other equipment you bring to Nesher. Fantastic idea!
Your dad is having a lot of fun. These toys are every guys dream.
I am having fun. These are great machines and I am using them a lot!
A really handy attachment for the digger attachment would be to make a thumb for the bucket and even make a wood splitter attachment on the thumb, like a spike & 4way splitting blade that can grab and split firewood .
About 23 years ago I built my own loader similarly designed loader like these with Kubota diesel engine. Back then not many competitors and I used it for my landscaping business I had at the time. If I still had that company I'd buy one in an instant.
I have absolutely no need nor use for one of these. But I WANT ONE! There's GOT to be something I could use one for.
Glad to see you are letting your Dad have some fun, too!
Great Video!

These are pretty impressive! I just moved to the country and am excited to see the growth of this type of machinery being used.
Hope you do a whole new series around these, it's so much fun! I was hoping for several different machines but will still watch anyway
Hi, great that you are promoting these sort of machines. One thing you didn't mention, but is an advantage of electric, is that they can be used inside without a massive snorkel to get the diesel fumes out. Good luck with Nesher hope it goes really well.
That’s an excellent point! And these are fairly compact so they are good for indoor demo work.
The other maintenance benefit is they are less likely to unexpectedly break down; the drivetrain at least. Worst thing is having a failure in the middle of a job with other people on the clock and no tool
They made propane forklifts years ago pal
Those will also kill you in an enclosed space, propane does burn cleaner but carbon monoxide is odorless and deadly@@bennisles9521
@@bennisles9521 I once worked at a factory where the boss insisted on running the propane forklift with the garage door shut. All of us on the production floor got massive carbon monoxide headaches. They are no fun and take about 4 hours to go away once you get fresh air.
Dude, this is awesome. Very similar to a venture I was considering a few years ago, but can no longer afford. All for this! Wish you the best of luck with this, definitely think there is a market for this.
holy cow man making a company and selling these for insanely affordable prices i'm so impressed
Chinese philosophy of doing business: Low profit, high volume. Give value to the people. You will never go hungry.
also help with cheap labor lol, which is why EVERYTHING in USA, even american companies have "made in china# on their products@@nsebast
Ikr. My step dad has a huge acre of land that he plays with and he is somewhat far from the city and he is already a senior. I think machines like these can really help him move and do stuff without breaking his back!

Would like to see how powerful they were digging in heavier clay soils.
I don’t think power would be the issue. These while heavy are no where near the weight of a traditional loader. The small weighs only 2500lbs while the larger weighs 4500lbs. Pretty sure the smallest bobcat available weighs more.
@@dannyv2335 The small one weighs as much as a Kubota BX23 series loader with slightly less lifting capacity. The smallest Bobcat/skid-steer can do 10x the work in the same amount of time. It can actually dig in with the front bucket, especially in heavy clay soil, unlike the L880 or the Kubota.
@@michaelg4931 this reminds me of battery tools vs electric. Want to work all day? Use a plug in tool. Want to go do a one hour fix it job? Grab the ryobi. Same thing here. This is not for hard core work. This is for small jobs, jobs that can be done over several sessions, jobs where simply hopping on and unloading a pallet or something would be super.
please let us know the price comparison to these and the Kubota's and Bobcat's@@michaelg4931
@@dannyv2335 I have an AGT micro excavator, weighs just under a ton (probably 1 ton with me on it lol), and it digs through heavy clay just fine. The small bucket means it doesn't need as much weight.
Can't wait to see what you import next.
These would be great for a small business in an urban area, small, low noise, easy to move around, and lighter than a skidsteer. Great video.
Awesome units and great explanation, hope your new company hits big.
I've always figured that electric vehicles like this make a lot of sense. These vehicles need a balance weight, so the battery becomes part of that weight, instead of being extra to move around.
Yeah and the battery probably only lasts a few charges and then you're going to have to pay what you paid for the whole machine to get another one and then the installation and then the removal
Sounds like liberal logic to me
@@anthonyk6265 wtf does liberal logic have to with designing an electric forklift?
@@JohnnyMotel99 because somehow liberals think that that's a lot clear energy and a good idea to buy Chinese junk made out of recycled toasters with batteries you have to strip the Earth and kill habitat and then plug in the coal burning power plant to recharge it a couple times and then in the winter time is that battery has no power seems like nobody had power wheels or anything like that when they were kids not really practical at all waste of money and minerals
Stop assuming.
@@anthonyk6265
I just bought a used 2007 Bobcat for $34k. I did get an enclosed cab with heat and A/C. But the maintenance of gas/diesel motor. Charger for the battery in the winter, fluids, oil, etc. These Chinese Electric machines are priced pretty good. A larger loader is $19k and a smaller ne is $11k. Buying the set with all attachments, low maintenance, and quiet operation is a pretty good deal provided you dont have too much digging to do. Moving a fresh pile of dirt is one thing. Digging with a smooth bucket and lacking the power of a 75 hp machine will limit larger projects, especially here in Missouri clay vs Florida sand.
They look great for working the shitter on a Dairy Farm actually.
You also get what you pay for. These things will be trash in 2 years. The batteries will go bad for one. Just try getting parts for these things. Try getting schematics/blueprints.... Try finding an western service company willing to service them. If I bought one of these, the FIRST thing I would do is change the hydraulic fluid, because it is probably the cheapest worst fluid you can buy.
They are cheap because they are cheaply made. China is the land of shortcuts. Brand new highways literally fall down in China.
Even if the Western brand is made in China, it's made under Western supervision and quality control not a Chinese company.
Probably not hard to find a toothed bucket from another loader that will work. The quick connect bracketry doesn't vary a whole lot since buckets are mass produced. Closest thing you can find almost standardized by size.
@@tarstarkuszyour iphone manufactured in china also😂😂😂
@@tarstarkusz Your image of Chinese products is outdated. China has changed from a low cost manufacturer to one that is transitioning up the value chain. The only reason in my mind why the U.S is still stuck with this image is because both Trump and Biden have put up barriers like restricting Chinese phones, 5G equipment or EV's from being exported to the U.S as it competes directly with U.S industry which has already struggled in the global market except for a few sectors.
This just popped up in my feed, so glad. I'm a big fan of all electric. Awesome!
thats the best plug video ever. hats off to you. I'm over 2o mins in b4 realizing this has been one big promo for your new business
Hasn't even been an hour and the site is already sold out lol.
That's really cool. As an operator, those don't look too bad. I hope your business is a success.
I work occasionally for an old friend in concrete demolition. When we sawcut the floor of an office building for an electrician and plumber to lay in conduit for a new tenant, we normally pull the blocks by hand. This means we have to cut them smaller and risk back, hand and foot injuries, and it also ruins two hand trucks per job. Having this piece of equipment would be OSHA compliant for use indoors, and we could even dig out the substrate for the electrician and plumber, netting even more profit. This is pretty cool, I’ll be passing your contact info on to the boss.
I think what you're doing in regard to reselling these machine's, is going to service a Great Need for a lot of small farmers who help keep America going. Very Cool!! - BC
The whole video I kept thinking "I wish I could get something like that here in the states"... and then boom - you announced that is exactly what you are doing!! I'm so psyched that you are offering this. Can't wait to order one.
I can’t wait to buy a Chinese electric car one day! They are so well made that even Elon Musk admitted they are extremely high quality and that they could put his company and any American car company out of business! Which is why he is pleading with the US government to ban them because not are only they are well made but they cost 1/3 the price of a comparable type of a Testla car!
@@grandwonder5858there is a lot of companies in China that make electric cars or atleast lot of electricity cars cuz idk if the gov or not but like a Spain youtuber showed the evcars and it was actually decent enough
Like you can have small car to big cars and lots of upgrades to be made
you better order now, Biden is gonna raise taxes for electric vehicles from China.
Great move. I’ve worked a hobby farm with diesel skidsteers, and your units could have done 90% of the work cheaper quieter cleaner and as fast.
Not even a chance lol diesel is the way to go electric is only for the homeowner they won't last anywhere close to what a diesel one would.
Yeah... Except for the fact that a diesel skid can last 8 hours on a tank of fuel. That electric POS is gonna be dead within 3 hours.
@@MFKR696 your logic makes no sense. Electric forklifts have been around for a few decades and run 10/12hr shifts regularly
@@1970Custom I was talking about on a single charge. I used to run Raymond Reaches, Clamps and Dockstockers. Went through a minimum of 1 pack-change per shift. 2-3 if it was a particularly heavy shift.
Electric forklifts have modular battery packs that can be changed in 30 seconds with a modified Reach-truck. It takes longer to drive to the charge bay than it does to actually replace the pack. These machines have no such benefit.
The kicker to all of this; Even with modular battery-packs, it *still* requires an entire dedicated room, holding *very* expensive racks, charging equipment, high-voltage lines, and a custom Reach-truck to keep them going.
At the last facility I operated Lifts at (cold-storage warehouse), they had a not-so-small transformer substation dedicated solely to that purpose. Not cheap.

I would love to have one of those containers placed in my backyard to store stuff!
Nice unboxing and piece of land. Looks like FL with all the pine trees, palmetto plants, and white sand. We might be ranch neighbors lol
I'd like to see further videos on these machines and see what kind of run time they get per charge.
Yes you found your business.. everything up to this point has been for this exact business.
It might take a little time as the construction equipment market is very brand loyal and your going to get some hate but don’t let that slow you down.
Congratulations!!
I always learn so much by you your Chanel. And spending time with your dad is amazing.
Do not get me wrong . By trade I went to school to be a mechanic for the diesel eating monsters . I love the power . Saying that . I can see where these are much safer. They have less noise so you can hear something to happen. Also if someone needs you . Let alone the fumes from the exhaust from the other loaders . These are a great idea!
Many thanks. They fill a small but important niche in the marketplace. And you have pointed one of the several important safety aspects
If I had ranch or some acreage, one of these with all the attachments would be super useful. It'd save a lot of labor too. I think the niche you're targeting here, the small end of the market, is right and that's where you'll get the most traction. If you're older, having trouble getting around, want to not risk throwing out your back etc, but you don't want to give up the property that you worked so hard for, one of these would be a game changer. I wish my Dad still had his hobby farm - this would be perfect for him!
Very cool!!! Like lots of folks, really loved the electric truck from years ago. So happy to see you’ve turned your passion into a business!
Good luck in your new endeavor!!
I would suggest a mulcher and a tiller attachment to complete the package on the small dozer.
I think these two would make the machine much more useful to small property owners!
That’s awesome! Congratulations on and good luck with Neshere!
I really like electric vehicles and how quiet they are. I have an electric mower, which I really like aside from its ill suited lead acid batteries. Also I just finished outfitting an electric Club Car Carryall 500 as a maintenance vehicle for work.
The quality looks to be au rendez-vous which is a priority for long term business . I bought a brand new chinese snow blower 6 years ago , still running well with good maintenance , acquintances told me it will work for 1 winter ! Good luck
in your enterprise , we need people like you.
Great video and all the best for your venture. The only thing missing is the range of the batteries ie 4hrs heavy use, 7hrs light use. Also the charging times. Thanks.
That experience is gold. Thanks for Sharing.

These loaders are great and look to be very capable for a tool on some acreage anywhere. As an operator in my past I can see what a good piece of equipment with alll the attachments is easy to run. Electric and hydralic power areso good of a match. In years past the drone of a diesel engine didn't help my already failing hearing, so quiet electric is the way to go.
I am surprised to see how well how well of that equipment work , more importantly your mini truck still working.
This is so insane! I am so happy for you and these machines look so dope. I hope your business flourishes and get lots of traction!
That fluid level gauge on the side is in an ideal place to be torn off.
exactly what i thought hahaha, nice at first glance but you need to think more than twice about things.
I doubt it will be in a tighter spot than that container.
The common Mini Skid steer attachment plate would be ideal for those little machines as they would be cross compatible with the rental attachments available.Bigger machine might need full Skid Steer quick attach plate.
I assume these machines are intended to only be used with their own attachments. The machines likely don't have the proper hydraulics and lift capacities for the universal attachments. If this machine had skid steer quick attach and you tried to use a front loader designed for a larger tractor you might break something or tip it over.
@@andrewgee241he said “mini.” That is a different from a regular skid steer quick attach. It’s a smaller version. Therefore the use of the word “mini.”
Yep. How much would it take to make an adapter for standard attachments.
If it has the hydraulic flow to drive and lift, it has enough for attachments.
These are interesting but without standard attachments, it's a no go for a pro like me. Leaves it as a homeowners.
Love what your doing! As many of us do not have the knowledge to do it. Thank You!
It's very nice to see someone excited about starting a new business. I wish you well.
Very cool. And if you can make a detachable 'thumb' for that digger arm like my friend did, you'll turn it into a super handy lifter/grabber for clearing brush, logs/sticks, stumps etc.
Edit: I see from your Nesher website they could already be available as an option, from the photo.
These types of machines are very common in Austria/Germany. Mostly as Diesels.
They are called „Hoftrac“ and originally designed for small farm buildings often seen in the Alps.
The smallest variant can drive through a normal 🚪.
The hitch is for a generator on wheels, in case you need longer hours. Jokes aside, they seem really good even for smaller operations such as landscaping.
The bowl quality looks top-notch. Amazing value!
Glad to see they sold.
Would love to be able to get the little one with attachments for 15k~ Looks like it'll be close, I'll keep an eye out!
After looking at the specs it seems the larger loader has about the same specs as my 2019 Massey Ferguson GC 1720 BL. Cost is a little more also. There is definitely a market for electric right now tho. I was hoping the lift and HP would be significantly higher being electric.
Thanks for the time you spent making this video. Great work :)
Hey! Good for you for starting up a company to distribute these machines. That's awesome.
This is AWESOME! About time someone with both the knowledge and the ENERGY did something like this. Wishing you the best.
Wow! It's cool to see these and would love to see even more of them being sold, as well as produced in north America. Hard to imagine john deer making these with any user replaceable parts. sigh, can hope!

Thanks for sharing your experiences, and your many informative videos. Good luck with Nesher Equipment.
You should turn the container into a sort of attachment closet, with multiple hatches on the side to pick the attachments up.
They look very impressive. A straight blade would help for another attachment. Maybe a small wood mulched.
This is fantastic! These have so many applications, and the maintenance benefits are significant. Someone else mentioned this, but this would be great for residential contractors. The noise and fumes from a diesel Bobcat are not something homeowners and neighbors enjoy. If you can maintain a US side supply of parts (motors, controllers, the little stud that breaks like joysticks, etc) your main problem will be filling all the orders.
Are there other types of equipment? A bobcat that is small enough to get in a backyard would be great!
Great idea and use of the skills (importing) that you have built up.
Looking forward to watching this one
These are amazing! I wonder if there are models with loaders on front, but also with 3 point hitches with PTO's for
This is so cool, Micah! It looks like they've made strides in terms of quality. Kind of thinking about upgrading mine...
I am impressed with the quality and ease of changing the attachments.
Yep - that is a cool feature for sure
Great video! As much as some will hate to hear this, this is an honest to goodness example of China's clear manufacturing superiority. Great innovative useful machines, at half the price, with all of the benefits of electrification, great engineering, sturdy, etc.
In fairness, we didn't see it load a dump truck, or do heavy work in a tough rocky or muddy construction or mining worksite, but for $20k-$30K for a new loader that can work an 8-hour day of intermittent use, its a better product.
I assume air conditioning (AC), universal skid-steer mounts, and bullet-proof cabin glass are available, but those things cost money - and AC is going to reduce running time. It costs $1000 per day in fuel to run a lot of equipment, so fuel is not a small savings here, it's a huge savings - especially when the cost of the loader is cheaper as well.
It would be interesting to see the specs and comparison of how that drivetrain keeps up with a diesel loader - on a construction worksite.
I think as the need for more small hobby farms fulfill niches these type of service boutiques will be more important. Great innovation with your experiment.
Wow! Neat array of machines you acquired!
Nice and compact little helpers you got there. The three small ones are surely helpful to load pallets, move dirt or similar stuff, while the bigger one is totally the "If the small ones cant do it, i get the big one."-Type plus that it can lift the pallets and all a bit higher.
And the good thing is: Since you got two of the digging attachments, you can add a non-hydraulic thumb to one of them and use it to move brush, logs, or other debris or scrap.
Another idea is, to maybe convert one of the smaller ones to a skidd steer attachment plate and see if it can run a hydraulic mower or so.
I’d never actually thought to see if these existed as electrics. Colour me impressed!
I think Volvo just recently presented a series of full electric full scale excavators. I wonder how long those run or if you can go tethered in certain situations.
They have existed for years inside of mines.
@@gateway199999 Yes, but as far as I remember, alot of those were run tehered in some way, as batteries were not able to endure a whole shift, plus in mines work often was done around the clock and there was no real downtime for charging. Not saying there have not been battery powered electric vehicles or machines as well.
The loaders look well built. Hope you do well on your new business. Thanks for the video!
I just started watching your videos and wow , the stuff you get is awesome. I loved your truck.
As a client, China maintains it's efforts for Quality, when it has concerns..it is able to maintain its quality, since it is shelf life based, was asked how old is that item, its been around for 1.4 decades, 2 decades, 2.3 decades. There is quality always. Tried and tested.
Congrats on the very smart move of making your own company to get these machines into people’s hands. Good luck!
I can see mounting solar roof panels to recharge during downtime. Wished you show the battery packs, and some info on how long it will go one one charge.
I don't have much tractor experience, but about 10 years forklift and MHE experience. I'd recommend looking into fabricating a brush screen for the cabs in case a load ever shifts or you snag on something while traveling.
When you said you were starting a business importing these, my face lit up. I'm hopefully starting a business of my own soon installing 2-way radio equipment and one of these with the auger and fork attachments would be amazing
Im interested in seeing what the run time is on the batteries
well what about working time before and charge time?
Wow! This is the first time I've come across your site. To start with, your presentation is very, very good. Secondly, your topic is incredibly useful. Thirdly, your knowledge of the main topic is and dealing with periferal information nation deepens the education AND inspire confidence in the presentation. All of that being said, my last thought is the one that stands out the most for me. The way that I express an really workable relationship is that, "If it isn't working for all of us, it isn't really working for any of us." Your video exemplifies that. It leads me to want to work with with you and create a network of likeminded people and businesses. Thanks for a job well done.
This is great and very much needed! Would like to see them with lithium batteries but guessing that jacks the price up.
You have to face the fact that you can get quality equipment from china. I have purchased Chinese lithium battery forklift from Hangch and it was half the cost of a Yale forklift and I could not tell the difference in quality.
Yes you can. The problem is, as he said, to find those quality products and the right manufactures, because that's not easy. You don't know who would screw you and who wouldn't. As we saw with the excavator he bought - it was basically crap, and very expensive crap! lol
@@Bannimann2 Agreed. Due diligence on the part of the buyer is certainly required. But that is true of US manufactured products as well. Good stuff and crappy stuff always exists in the same marketplace at the same time. The quality of (good) Chinese products has shot way up there including heavy equipment. Look at Sany construction equipment. Chinese company with huge marketshare in the US and around the world.
Nice video! You didn't mention the average run time with a fully charged battery. Those small loaders would be nice for snow removal.
Yes they would do a good job but I 👍. But I am sure there is a old weather degradation test coming. Hopefully 🤞
1 to 4 hours, depending
@@abyssmanur3965 yes lots of variables but curious to see one test and the conditions.
They have 14.4kw power packs on the big one. I have four of these same units I imported a year ago probably from the same factory (Qingzhou Yingnuo.) The operator needs STRICT training not to run the packs down to less than 20% to avoid destroying them fast. I swapped out a substantially better battery monitoring system on the units I have. We still killed one of the battery packs in 6 months running it too low due to a programming issue on the monitor. The others are fine. Based on degradation, I expect about a 5-6 year lifespan from the pack. They are using lead acid batteries, and this degradation substantially matches electric forklift degradation. The unit with lead acid batteries got upgraded to a lithium ion pack, but we had to add weights to the vehicle to offset the huge weight reduction. However it is a substantially better machine now, like night and day.And based on the last 6 months, we expect its pack to last 10 years+ My units run for about 2 hours of hard work for the lead acids, the lithium ion unit upgraded unit runs for about 6 hours of constant work.
thanks for comments, could you plese say how much is a standard battery and how much for a lithium? just approx.@@BadHaddy
This is really exciting! Hope it goes well so that i can buy one when I get my land. Good luck!!
Your videos are very entertaining and provide a great vision of what it takes to import and set up equipment.
Glad you like them!
