It's \u003cstrong\u003e800 mm wide as standard, and about 718 mm on the optional narrow tyres\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is what takes it through a standard doorway and into a passenger lift. Its articulated arm lifts \u003cstrong\u003e400 kg to 1.8 m\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully remote controlled\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you stand beside it and watch what you're doing rather than sitting on top of it. Nobody rides the machine, and nobody is sitting over the work breathing the dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries, lifts, tips and cleans out the places a diesel isn't welcome: poultry sheds, strip-outs, occupied buildings, food plants and tunnels. It works just as well down the side of the house or inside the stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake the hydraulics out and everything gets better\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery other electric machine in this class is a battery driving a hydraulic pump. They electrified the engine and left the rest of it alone. So they still carry the pump, the tank, the cooler and the oil, along with every hose and fitting that can weep it onto your floor. That's most of the reason they're 900 mm wide and won't fit through your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe took it out. All of it.\u003c\/strong\u003e The implements run on electricity, straight off the hitch. Nothing to leak on a shed floor. No oil to change, no filters to buy, no hoses to chafe through in three years. Hydraulics also throw away a good share of what you feed them as heat, which is why machines that use them need close to twice the battery to do less work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it's why this one is as narrow as it is. Narrow wasn't a target we chased. \u003cstrong\u003eIt's what's left once you delete the pump.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom 1 December, the air inside gets a hard limit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1 December 2026, Australia's workplace exposure standards become legally enforceable workplace exposure limits. That includes a national limit on diesel particulate matter, and the carbon monoxide limit tightens from 30 ppm to 20 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HandE-T has no engine and produces no exhaust, so it adds nothing to the contaminants those limits cover. That's the whole of the claim we make for it. What your own site has to do about those limits depends on your site, so that's a conversation for your regulator or an occupational hygienist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNever run a machine before?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou stand beside this one and drive it with a remote. It starts with a switch. It can't stall, there's no clutch and no gears, and if you let go it stops. You plug it in at night like a phone and there's no servicing to remember or book in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance and warranty are two different things\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo planned maintenance for five years.\u003c\/strong\u003e That's what the machine needs. No engine means no engine oil, no oil filter, no fuel filter, no air filter, no coolant and no belts. No hydraulics means no hydraulic oil and no hydraulic filters. It runs on bearings rather than bushes. The one scheduled job is \u003cstrong\u003ea gearbox oil change at high hours\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-year warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e That's what's covered if something goes wrong. Different thing, and we'd rather say both numbers plainly than blur them into one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe maintenance claim excludes tyres, remote-control batteries, the gradual capacity fade every battery gets as it ages, that gearbox oil change, and damage or misuse.
