Powered by Li-ion battery, it offers a continuous working range from four to eight hours, depending on application and environment. The excavator features an on-board charger and if operators require additional runtime, they can tether the TB20e to the onboard charger and keep working. An optional off-board charger can charge the TB20e in just two to four hours using 408v to 552v three-phase power.
It has an operating weight of 4,255 pounds and features a standard long arm with integrated thumb mount. It has a maximum dig depth of 7 feet 10 inches and a maximum reach of 13 feet 4 inches. A primary hydraulic circuit plumbed to midarm delivers 9.0 gpm for running a hydraulic hammer or other hydraulically driven attachments. Because the TB20e has no engine, maintaining the excavator is simple, with fewer moving parts and no need for fuel filters, engine oil, engine oil filters or coolant.
Inside the cab, operators will find a color, 4.3-inch high-definition, multifunction monitor, electrohydraulic joystick controls, key start, comfortable suspension seat, traditional travel and blade control levers and an electronic dial throttle. This dial throttle increases the motor speed incrementally; however, unlike a diesel engine that gets increasingly louder as its speed ramps up, the TB20e’s only sounds come from its motor and pumps.
