Multiquip’s Battery-Powered Power Buggy Lowers Emissions

Multiquip, a diverse manufacturer and supplier, announces the battery-powered MQ Whiteman model WBH-16BAT buggy, a step forward in zero-emission construction equipment. The unit was developed to meet the variable requirements of construction sites while meeting eco-friendly standards.

“At the heart of the MQ Whiteman buggy lies its powerhouse - a rechargeable 48V 7kWh Vanguard lithium-ion battery,” said Joseph Jeong, associate product manager for buggies at Multiquip. “With its impressive runtime of eight hours when fully charged and fully loaded, this battery ensures sustained operation without having to worry about power outlets and gasoline.”

Engineered for challenging environments, the buggy features dual drive motors that deliver strong torque. For improved traction, the buggy features a set of wide, foam-filled tires to tackle muddy, rocky and uneven jobsite terrain.

A 4.3-inch digital display provides at-a-glance information on battery charge level along with operational indicators for dump and travel speed. It also provides the operator with easy to understand diagnostic alerts that can be used for troubleshooting to reduce downtime.

With a top travel speed of six miles per hour, the MQ Whiteman buggy maximizes efficiency by cutting down transport time across the job site. Its 16 cubic feet polyethylene tub handles up to 2,500 pounds of material with ease, while the hydraulic dump system ensures rapid unloading with a 7.42 second dump and retract cycle and an 88-degree dump angle delivering complete material clearing and reducing manual cleanup.
