MANUFACTURER TP has unveiled its second electric machine – and called it the "world's toughest battery-powered" woodchipper. 

The 215 Mobil ZE follows in the footsteps of the company's  TP175 E-ZE and packs many of the features found on its diesel version. 

An 8-inch chipper, the 215's battery capacity is either 29 or 39 kWh. The engine has three performance settings; and can deliver 25 kW with low noise, 30 kW in standard and 35 kW in boost mode.

A statement added: "Linddana was the first company in the world to launch a mobile electric wood chipper in 2019. TP 175 Mobil ZE is in demand by municipalities, rental companies and contractors looking for a green profile. In parallel with this, there has been demand and a desire for us to offer a bigger wood chipper for municipalities and contractors. etc.

"Linddana has therefore converted our existing TP 215 with its many features and the strong quality concept into one of the market's toughest electric chippers. TP 215 Mobil ZE is modular and is marketed both with and without a turntable, like our diesel version."

The three capacity settings allow a lot of KW to be used when necessary, TP says, while also optimising battery run times. The battery is a Lithium ion battery with a guaranteed five-year service life and a minimum of 2,500 charges.

TP 215 ZE comes with a height-adjustable outlet pipe, is simple and efficient to operate with TP Pilot+ and offers, among other things, an auto-reverse function.

Speaking to essentialARB at this year's ARB Show about the 175, sales coordinator Axel Block said: “In the beginning we saw it being sold to local authorities, which it is, but it is mainly going to contractors who work for the local authorities.

"It is a true zero-emission machine. Customers can choose to have three, four or five batteries, for between three and five hours’ runtime.

“Going forward, we will continue to produce petrol machines for as long as necessary, but battery power is our focus now.”
