Electric chassis PTO for e-truck delivering materials for customers in Copenhagen
Story
STARK is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and gradually converting its fleet from diesel to a more sustainable power source. Therefore, the company decided to use an electric truck to deliver building materials to STARK customers in and around Copenhagen. The range and energy capacity of DAF’s full-electric truck means it can be utilized for various working vehicle applications, including mobile cranes. Being fully electric, the truck helps to keep the air clean in the capital, makes construction more sustainable, and meets the growing demand for emissions-free construction sites.
Challenge
DAF’s full-electric truck can be used for various working vehicle applications, including mobile cranes. The electric DAF CF has a 13-ton payload and a range of 220km between charges making it perfect for distributing goods in urban areas. Nevertheless, the e-truck was not equipped with an electrical power take-off (PTO) to provide the hydraulic pressure and flow necessary to power the Palfinger 26-ton/meter crane.
Solutions
Banke ApS has developed an electric power take-off solution that drives the crane’s hydraulics with electricity from the DAF truck’s battery pack. Our electric chassis PTO consists of a motor, hydraulic pump, electronic control unit, DC-AC current converter, and an interface to the truck’s electrical system. The package has a very small footprint and was easy to fit on the chassis frame.
We offer single-unit and split-system PTOs, PTOs mounted either on the working equipment or more deeply integrated within the working equipment itself.
