Machine manufacturer STAAD takes another step in the electrification of earthmoving equipment with the introduction of the STAAD 23LCR, an electric 23-ton crawler excavator developed and built entirely in the Netherlands. Earlier this year, the STAAD 23LCR was awarded the IF Design Awards 2026. This machine is the logical successor after the successful introduction of the electric mobile excavator STAAD 17W, which attracted much attention at international trade fairs last year and also won prizes at the IF Design Awards.
According to general manager Pieter Staadegaard, this new machine was also designed from a clear market desire: compact, powerful and efficient. “At the wish of the market, we made it as compact as possible. It is not an indoor turner, but the swing radius is quite short,” Staadegaard said.
The STAAD 23LCR was developed with one central purpose: Run a full working day on a battery that can be recharged anywhere overnight, without expensive fast chargers or buffer batteries. Staad based this design on extensive data from 285 previously converted electric machines, which gave the company precise insight into where energy consumption occurs and where optimization is possible.
One notable innovation is the new hydraulic system developed in cooperation with Bosch Rexroth. When the operator lowers the boom, the hydraulic pump temporarily acts as a motor and feeds power back to the electric motor. “The hydraulic pump then temporarily functions as a motor driving the electric motor and generates power instead of consuming power,” described. This regenerative system provides continuous energy gains while working. earth moving. earth saving.
The machine is driven by the interchangeable Powerbox 400 with a capacity of 400 kWh. It can be charged overnight via a standard 32A power connection. What is new is that the machine also can charge bi-directionally, allowing, for example, an electric vibratory plate or mini-excavator to be charged on the construction site from the excavator.
Like the STAAD 17W, the 23LCR is modular. Many components are identical, which increases production efficiency and reliability. Thanks to the efficient drive system, the machine can be used with a 25% smaller battery yet run a full working day.
Staad deliberately chooses a full-option approach: commonly used options are integrated by default. Consider:
“Including these options in the original design is much cheaper AND better than building them up afterwards in the workshop,” Staadegaard said.
Even before the brochure is printed, the first fifteen machines already sold to regular customers. Together with the mobile STAAD 17W, the new 23LCR crawler excavator forms a powerful duo within the popular weight classes for electric earthmovers.
