Introducing Staad's new 17W electric excavator, boasting a 16-ton weight capacity.
**Dutch Family Company Staad Unveils Pioneering Electric Excavator, the Staad 17W**
The Dutch family company Staad has made a significant stride in the construction industry with the introduction of the Staad 17W electric mobile excavator. This innovative machine, showcased at Bauma 2025, a major construction equipment exhibition, is set to revolutionise the industry with its zero-emission capabilities and advanced electric power train technology.
Weighing in at 16 tons, the Staad 17W excavator offers a perfect balance between mobility and power, making it ideal for mid-sized earthmoving tasks. One of its key features is a fully electric drive system, designed as an emission-free alternative to traditional diesel excavators, helping to significantly reduce carbon footprint at construction sites.
The 17W comes equipped with high-end features as standard, including selectable power modes, a fine swing function, an optional intelligent floating boom, a deluxe adjustable seat, a full-color LCD monitor, and an optional heated/cooled seat.
The development of the Staad 17W excavator was a collaborative effort, involving several Dutch entities. The Staad Group partnered with Anema Arum VOF, Nijland Service, Handelsonderneming Snippe Erica, R&L Machinery, and the ELM Group in its creation. These partnerships allowed for the integration of cutting-edge battery expansion capabilities and modern electric power train technology.
While specific technical details, such as motor power or charging specifications, were not provided, the focus on battery expansion and electric drivetrain suggests a design optimised for flexibility and sustainability. The 17W can be connected to multiple (up to 10) expansion batteries via a power management system, providing a total capacity of around 22 kWh, which allows extended operation times on a single charge.
Staad's participation at Bauma 2025 places it in the ecosystem of major construction technology innovators, possibly indicating technical alliances or suppliers involved in advanced electric vehicle components. The emergence of ultracompact, flexible manufacturing technologies might also support the manufacturing of such advanced electric construction machines with reliable cabling and connections in minimal space.
Marketed as "the machine for the future," the Staad 17W excavator is set to lead the way in sustainable construction equipment, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel machines. With its pioneering design and collaborative development process, Staad is positioning itself at the forefront of the construction industry's shift towards a more sustainable future.
