Can you dig it? Electric Excavators?

We sent a CB Electric Excavator  ( CBEE  ) with hammer and two CB Electric Tracked Haulers (CBETH) to a project at a Gold’s Gym remodel where the general contractor was to excavate and install a swimming pool in the adjacent space in a strip mall outside DC .

The pool contractor started digging with a Bobcat skid steer and mini-excavator with exhaust scrubbers until the property owner was called and all excavation was stopped cold. The general contractor was about to be forced to do the digging by hand which they were not in a big hurry to do.

They called us to discuss our  CBETHs for hauling out the hand excavated  fill. The project manager was trying to retain a Brokk 180 for the digging and our CBETH  for hauling out. We talked for a little while and I asked how they were going to load the haulers.

After he mentioned the 180 I told him about a 180 owner ,who in a caption for a Youtube video ,stated that the Brokk although it did not dig well , it beat a shovel .  CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.  Press “more info” in the description area underneath the user name.

I told him about the CBEE and went over some of our web videos and he decided to go with our methods ,since our electric excavators solved all of  his   excavation  problems at one time.

Size matters… sometimes…bigger electric excavator

Let’s face it, environmental restrictions are only going to get more strict in 2010.  An electric powered mini excavator may be a great alternative to costly manual labor on a fume restricted project.  The following contractor thought so.

A plumbing contractor used our CBEE2 in a pharmaceutical plant to dig out an acid drain . The plumbing contractor had rented a CBEE for the project but after digging 5 feet for a pipe that the facilities people said would be found at 4 feet, they needed more dig depth.

Enter the CBEE2!  A larger electric mini excavator with over 9 feet of dig depth. Needless to say, that phase of the project was taken care of easily . The CBEE2 availability for rentals  is limited at this time so please ask early if you think that it is required for your fume sensitive project.

CBEE2 Electric Excavator is added to CB Electric Excavators

New addition to a line of electric excavators

We are proud to announce the release of the CBEE 2.  It is our second electric excavator to officially allow us to say that CB Electric Excavators is the world’s first line of electric powered excavators!  Be on the look out for photos and videos.  A sneak peek below.
