Power to the people Power tools have been electrified as long as tradespeople have been
wielding them. Batteries dominate, as we discover in our brief selection of new and interesting products.
Altrad Belle PCX 13/40E+ battery-powered forward plate compactor is even better than the petrol equivalent at fully
compacting the ground quickly. With three speed options, it is exceptionally easy for the operator to use and manoeuvre. The advantage for hire companies is that they can interchange the battery and charger with other Honda battery powered products. With a 72v Honda system and 10Ah battery, this product is well suited to the rapidly changing demands
of the hire industry. Since acquiring Errut in the 90s, Altrad Belle has been a pioneer in operator safety, producing equipment with low HAVs to protect the user’s hands. The Honda battery and charger are designed for the needs of the rental market. The PCX 13/40E+ with
its 13kN force is suited to all outdoor work, as well as warehouse and basement applications. There are no dangerous emissions to consider, and the drive system is almost silent in operation. An additional advantage is retaining a simple low-technology vibrator shaft at the front of the plate compactor, with no electrics in this area.
