HandE-T: Electric Stand-On Tool Carrier, 500kg Lift, Bucket & Forks Included, Australian Made

One electric machine that lifts, carries and loads

The HandE-T is a fully electric stand-on tool carrier that lifts 500 kg — one machine for the jobs that normally need two. Shift mulch in the morning, dig post holes after lunch, drive under a truck tray and unload pallets before knock-off.

Six interchangeable 3 kWh packs swap tool-free in about a minute. On material handling it will work a full day without a refill.

Take the hydraulics out and everything gets better

Every 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.

We took it out. All of it. 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.

Fewer parts. Fewer things to go wrong. And if it's your own place rather than a worksite: nothing to leak where the animals walk, no service to book in, no jerry can in the shed. You plug it in at night and it's ready in the morning.

Why it beats what else is out there

The closest electric stand-on machine on the market lifts 234 kg. The HandE-T lifts 500 kg on a third more battery — and it costs less than an articulated electric ride-on.

Maintenance and warranty are two different things

No planned maintenance for five years. 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 a gearbox oil change at 8,000 hours — more than four years of full-time commercial use, and more hours than most people will ever put on a machine on their own place.

Two-year warranty. That's what's covered if something goes wrong. Different thing, and we'd rather say both numbers plainly than blur them into one.

The 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. Nothing here affects your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Two ways to buy it

• HandE-T — $54,950 inc GST. The working machine: front arm, bucket and forks included, full six-pack battery. This is the one most people want.
• HandE base — $39,000 inc GST. The platform on its own — full six-pack battery, no attachment. For anyone building their own top end on it.

The arm kit — front arm, bucket, hitches and stand-on platform — is $15,950 and fits the base machine at any time.

Attachments

A bucket and forks come with the machine. A bin, an auger and a four-in-one bucket are optional extras, built to order. We don't tool something up until there are people actually waiting on it, so ask and we'll tell you honestly where each one sits.

Need something narrower?

The HandE-C is 720 mm wide — about 30 mm under a standard doorway — and fully remote controlled, so it goes inside sheds and stables that nothing else in its class fits through. 400 kg lift, $49,950 inc GST.

How you actually get one

This is not a machine we hold on a shelf and post out. Every one is built to order in Queensland. You talk to us first, we confirm the specification and a firm quote, and then we confirm a build slot and a realistic delivery date before you commit to anything. Freight is quoted with the machine, because what it costs depends on where you are.
