Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the runtime say 6-12 hrs?
Great question! The “6-12,” hours is by no means an attempt to confuse you. The simple answer is that no power source (fuel, battery, or otherwise) has a definite runtime. What you’re doing with the machine will determine how much fuel or battery is drained. Lighter tasks will have a longer runtime, while harder tasks will have a shorter runtime.
We make sure to allow you to recharge the CMX18 with as little as only one (1) standard 110v electrical outlet. There is no need to try to find 220v or 480v/3phase electric onsite. You can now take your machine to any jobsite and recharge overnight with no issues. Come back in the morning ready for another day of safe and efficient work.

Yes it is! Unlike some other electric mini excavators, we do not skimp on the components that make our machine. We ensure that our excavators are outfitted with the highest quality components to give you the power necessary for the toughest construction or demolition job sites.

Not only is it safe, it’s the main reason for its existence. Rather than sticking to exhausting manual labor for interior jobs, our battery-electric excavators allows you to let the machines do the work, making your projects safer and more efficient.
