Ashcourt Invest In More Sustainable Solutions With New Electric Skip Loaders

We’re pleased to see another investment into a more sustainable future for our Group, with two fully electric skip loaders recently joining our Waste Management division. These 18 tonne Renault Trucks are E-tech D Wide skip loaders with Harsh HS14T 4x2 skip loading equipment that will be collecting and delivering skips in Hull for commercial and domestic customers. 

These wagons are powered by 265 kWh E-Tech traction batteries with four battery packs of 66kW each located in the wheelbase, providing a maximum torque of 286Nm continuous and 530Nm peak, with the ability to complete a full day’s work from a full charge. 

With our ever-growing Renault fleet, these further additions are welcomed and are based at our Waste Recycling Centre where dedicated DC and AC charging points have been installed.
