Heavy Duty Utility Vehicle
72V electric utility vehicle with a 1.8 m hydraulic tipping bed
This is the 72V utility vehicle: the same 1800 x 1150 mm tipping bed as the long bed model, on a longer 4.27 m chassis with a 6.3 kW motor and a lithium battery.

The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

About the Heavy Duty Utility Vehicle
The step up from the 48V utility vehicles: 72V and 6.3 kW rather than 48V and 5 kW, with a 35A charger instead of 25A, on the longest chassis in the utility line at 4.27 m.
The bed and its 500 kg rating are the same as the long bed model. What the extra voltage buys is the ability to move that load repeatedly without working the system as hard, and a faster charge between rounds, which on a full working day is the difference that shows.
Where the 72V system earns its keep
- Sites running a loaded vehicle all day rather than intermittently
- Operations where charge time between rounds is the constraint
- Estates and contractors moving materials continuously
- Anywhere a 48V utility is being worked at its limit
What it will not do
- It carries the same 500 kg as the 48V long bed. The gain is in how hard the system works to do it, not in capacity.
- At 4.27 m with a 5.5 m turning radius, this is the largest and least manoeuvrable vehicle in the utility line.
- Stated range is 60 km, the same as the 48V models, because the larger motor draws more.
- Still two wheel drive and still not road legal.

Questions about the Heavy Duty Utility Vehicle
- What does 72V give me over the 48V utility?
- Headroom rather than capacity. Both carry 500 kg on the same bed. This runs a 6.3 kW motor on 72V with a 35A charger, so it works less hard doing it and charges faster between rounds.
- Is the range better?
- No, it is the same 60 km. The larger motor draws more, so the extra battery capacity goes into delivering power rather than distance.
- How big is it?
- 4270 mm long, turning in 5.5 m, which makes it the largest vehicle in the utility line. Worth measuring your yard against before ordering.
- How much does it cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the load and the working pattern and we will quote the vehicle, the delivery and the lead time together.

Not sure whether to buy or hire
As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.
