Small Dimentions - Easy to Manage - Energy Efficient
In consideration of the environment in which our EBo 1450 units operate (Indonesia port area), it has been necessary to provide special treatments against sea salt for all unpainted components. On the other hand, for the paintable parts, a special C5M painting was carried out, which expressly protects against corrosion typical of marine environments.

faq
What load range can our axles and electric wheels reach?
Borghi Assali has produced steering axles up to 40 tons, and electro-wheels up to 54 tons (on the single unit) and 90tons in the bogie configuration. However Borghi Assali has also designed traction and steering electro-wheels for loads up to 120 tons on a single unit.
What minimum speed can the wheels manage? What are the speed limits at which our electric wheels can work?
The maximum speed depends on the application and business sector. For lifting machines the maximum speed is generally 12 to 15km/h. The AGVs usually require speeds around 5 to 6km/h. Large wheels (over 20 tons) usually have rather low maximum speeds, about 1 to 2km/h or even less. Low working speed bring sometimes a design problem, especially for electrical solutions. The minimum working speed of a group produced by Borghi Assali is nowadays 0.37km/h, but it is possible to reduce this value with a special design.
