Compact, lightweight, intelligent.
The compact AC powered electric ELX is predicted to change the European market for sideloaders. The goal was to produce a highly efficient and durable electric machine capable of efficiently working in small spaces.
Creating a smaller, lightweight chassis, involved designing a series of angled sections to provide stiffness and stability, without excess weight 2.5 tonnes lower than a conventional engine machine. A new steering axle was developed with extra weight added, providing a lower centre of gravity.
Efficient, intelligent and tough
Under four metres in length
Amazing work-cycles
Key Features
In developing the ELX range the goal was to produce a highly efficient and durable machine capable of working in demanding applications. Electrics offer zero emissions, are cheaper to run and maintain, as well as offering a better operator environment. Noise and cost savings will also benefit long-established companies which have seen towns grow up around them, and are under pressure to cut emissions and noise pollution by neighbours and legislators.
The Baumann ELX Series utilises a bespoke steering axle & flow matching hydraulic system. Through closed-loop control, the hydraulic pressure is adjusted depending on the load, saving energy and improving efficiency.
The innovations, 120v power supply & 2.5 tonnes weight reduction have increased battery performance by up to 30%.
The huge saving in weight allows a larger, ‘intelligent’ battery system, created specifically for Baumann in a bespoke arrangement. This in turn is supplemented by a new AC wiring schematic, featuring individual cables directly connected to each component to provide maximum efficiency.
The reduced length & improved turning circle have been achieved without sacrificing the mast or well width, clearance & low bed height.
The Range: Mid-Sized, Compact
The ELX was launched following two years of painstaking research, & features an intelligent battery system, redesigned chassis, new wiring schematic, bespoke steering axle & flow matching hydraulic system. This the most compact model ever produced, measuring less than four metres in length & 750mm in deck height.

WHAT MAKES THE ELX SPECIAL?
More compact and with increased battery performance by up to 30%, the ELX is a huge leap forward in electric truck design.
The ELX offers a fantastic solution for those looking for longer shift life, comfort and high levels of manoeuvrability.
The performance is like a diesel, but without emissions and noise. Futhermore, the total cost of ownership of electric trucks are nowadays definitely lower than engine powered trucks.
Because we looked at the fundamental structure of the machine, it is all the more satisfying a result. Improved weight distribution, highly efficient electrical systems and great performance. The ELX is a truck that we are rightly proud of.
