Hevi has unveiled North America’s largest all-electric wheel loader, the 48,281-pound H65L.
For comparison, the production version of Volvo CE’s new L120 Electric will weigh in between 41,887 and 47,399 pounds, and LiuGong’s 856H-E MAX weighs 46,297 pounds.
The all-electric equipment manufacturer says the H65L can complete a full shift – up to nine hours of continuous operation – without stopping to recharge. It also offers the added benefit of less noise, reduced maintenance costs and zero emissions, the company says.
It has a rated load capacity of 14,330 pounds, a bucket capacity of 5.5 cubic yards and 47,210 pound-feet of breakout force.
Hevi says it designed the H65L to charge “significantly faster,” with a dynamic CCS1 charging port that enhances the SAE J1772 connector by integrating an original AC plug with a DC power option.
The climate-controlled cab has noise levels of 75 decibels or less – similar to that of a vacuum cleaner or dishwasher running, according to Hevi. The sound level when standing 15 feet away from the loader is 67 decibels.
The on-board display provides a real-time feed of the loader’s operational status, including battery levels and pressure readings.

Raymond Wang, CEO of Hevi, commented on the release, saying, “This marks another major achievement for us as we introduce North America’s largest all-electric wheel loader. The purpose-designed H65L meets customer demands with extended runtime, faster charging, and cutting-edge display technology. Building on our legacy of zero-emission, all-electric industrial vehicles, the game-changing H65L delivers high performance while offering zero emissions, reduced operating and maintenance costs, lower noise levels, and enhanced operator comfort.”
Hevi also offers the 39,904-pound H55L electric wheel loader; 39,683-pound GEL-5000 electric wheel loader; and 11,464-pound GEL-1800 electric wheel loader, in addition to electric excavators, forklifts and chargers.
