- Hi all,
Please follow me on this journey of building a DIY electric Mini Loader, run with Hydraulic and powered by Lithium Ion salvaged from electric car. I will try my best to update weekly from today.
Dimension:
36" width
60" length
35" tall
Weight: estimate 1000lbs

Good job!
I'm glad you showed the haters, or nah sayers that innovative minds work well.
Looks awesome!
Love this. I often feel like I am the only one building small electric earth moving machines. Can't buy them, so have to build them. I converted an old Sears garden tractor to electric and it has awesome torque, but a tractor's maneuverability is lacking. I thought about converting a mini skid steer to electric, but even the non running ICE ones are tons of money. Tracks will likely be the way to go, as it's all about traction.
Just depends... if you're on a real farm with a lot of dirt road... Yes, tracks. But in a small urban garden like me, track would tore the crap out of everything it run over. Probably tore the crap off my pavers. haha. So wheels works well for me.
It looks awesome! I just started building one. I'm learning a lot from you. I posted a few videos of mine on my channel.
Nice to hear from you... I've made a lot of mistakes and probably more to come. Please make sure to filters out the bad stuff. :) The last two weeks has been nothing but struggles for me on the drive train, it's more complex than I anticipated. Hydraulic is a pandora box for me. :)
That thing is a beast. I wonder how much energy it'll consume when in use, because even though thats a huge pump I doubt it will need as much power fed into it as the forklift it used to be in.
Still to early to say. But the last time when the drive motors and one cylinder was working... the motor only needed 8-10volts (200-300watts) to run with good force. But this of course wasn't under much load. I would guess 1000-1500watts under full load. But doesn't matter... even if it pull 5000watts... the battery will have no issue and I don't plan on running it for more than 1-2hr at a time.
Hydraulics require about 750w per gallon of flow at 1500psi.
look's cool
Thanks, hopefully it works too.
Nice! Planing something similar if I can't find a used one. What batteries did you use?
Honda Clarity battery.
Might need to ad a cutting edge on the bucket then it will also stick out farther.
Maybe later. :)
how do you like the idea of using electric motors instead of hydraulic motors? use two controllers, one for each side. Sorry for mistakes in words, I use google translator. English is not my native language.
I ponder that question for a long time before I started the project. But using controller that have variable speed that have both forward and reverse is expensive. Especially if you want to switch between f/r quickly. Where a hydraulic valve is much cheaper and rely on the operator smoothness and response. That's why I decided to keep everything simple and all control by hydraulic.
@@devildestiny555 I am building a similar machine and you can get very inexpensive bldc controllers that have a reverse function. I just flick a toggle switch for reverse. The more difficult part is getting the electric motor rpms down to low speed for walking pace. I am using direct drive ebike hub motors as they require the least reduction (about 6-10rpms per volt) so 300-500rpm for a 50v battery. Single chain reduction to wheels. I can send you the link for my controller I got, maybe $50 on amazon.
Please show final drive system
Watch the next videos.
👌
whats the measurement on the arms of the lift
about 40 inches.
How much do you want for
How about 12k? haha.
