- First it was cars, then it was buses, now it's construction equipment that's making the move to clean, cheap electric power - but how does it work in the real world?
Well, even though Gav had no idea what he was doing (he's certainly not a qualified 'diggerologist') he still managed to control this SANY SY19E electric excavator with ease.
If you're keen on getting one for your fleet, get in contact with Vertu Equipment and try it out: vertuequipment...
Just be warned, you'll end up grinning ear-to-ear. Although that's not exactly a bad thing!
And if you're keen on cutting your carbon footprint, come and join us at Ecotricity, which is now New Zealand's only climate positive electricity provider! That means by switching today, you're actually turning back the clock on Climate Change, while saving money in the process.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not! Ecotricity is real, with really affordable electricity, thanks to it being purely renewable.
Head to www.ecotricity.co.nz and chuck in your address to see how much money & carbon you can save right now. It's that easy and it makes a real, positive difference for the next generation.
You only need to spend a few hours seated beside a diesel exhaust to realise changing these to electric is a no brainer.
Also worksite decibel levels are greatly reduced. In Europe contractors use electric machinery like this in built-up locations where noise regulations are in place during certain hours.
Ah nice! That's really impressive! So quiet, so clean! I can see these being really popular for utilities companies that need to lay new pipes/cables and for builders working on house extensions.
Too much fun - if you only go for an hour!
You answered your own question - old school diesel ones aren’t much fun if you breathing in fumes all day.
😂 Thanks for the Space Balls reference!
Last time I saw an excavator of this size in use was at a cemetery. An all-electric version would make so much more sense in that situation.
Bonus point for Village People style thumbnail 🙃
It is interesting that the adoption of electric motors has been so slow in this segment, as forklifts and similar small manipulators have been in electric versions for a long time.
Sany SY19E is a better model name than Sony's WF-1000XM5 (Great Earbuds but terrible name 😅)
Gavin you should see if you could find a all electric mowing (grounds keeping) crew to do a episode on.
The square in pamly north uses an electric ride on mower and Victoria Esplanade has electric side by side utility buggys but other tools are still two stroke.
I have started replacing my two-stroke with electric in my gardening business just the blower and strimmer for now. I love that you can just pick them up and go no messing about starting them. and a lot less noise. Electric is the way to go.
@@adus123 I'm not convinced by electric chain saws though. Although I don't use a CS professionally, I do regularly do a full day of felling/cutting up trees ion my land.
I just can't see that electric chain saws are there yet, especially not for larger saw sizes.
@@davidcolin6519 I don't use them much so can't say. All I can say is the batteries I have for the tools I have last way longer than I was expecting with loads of power. I am only replacing the tools I use the most. I don't think they are there yet for all the tools. I use a single-sided hedge trimmer I haven't seen a good replacement one on the market yet to match it.
@@adus123 Yeah, I have a battery hedge trimmer that is fine, but there again, I don't have miles of hedges to trim. Mine is a really cheap one, but it really does a fine job and is far easier to use than any other hedge trimmer I have used.
I love everything about this.

Roll on the electric revolution!
wow, your luggage lock code is 1234 WOW! what a coincidence
A very nice machine
They missed the opportunity to call it the San-E
Sany comes from the Chinese name "Three One" (San Yi) which apparently comes from 3 goals, one society motto.
Pretty cool! What's the cost of one of those machines?
No seated heats!
That will change when I come to power! Mwahaha! -Gav
Lets thank effing chevron to only destroy a single type of chemistry (NiMH). Imagine if they hadn't stop this development from the 90s onwards.
Just wait till it has to pay RUCs! Oh.
Yea, because it's totally a road-going vehicle 🥴🥴
first to comment (I guess)!!
Blah! Blah! Blah! What a waste of my time!
