Travel and work drives of Rehmus machines are direct-electric with maintenance-free 3-phase alternating current (AC) and brushless direct current motor technology (BLDC). This technology is well established in the automotive and forklift truck industries. Each individual motor is optimally designed for the intended work process and thus maximally efficient. The individual control of the motors enables ideal adaptation to a wide range of environmental conditions and various straw qualities.

Don't worry. Statistically, electric cars are 40 times less likely to burn compared to internal combustion engine-powered vehicles. The reason for accidental fires is often due to the battery technology used. NMC battery cells (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt) are installed in most electric cars. In our Rehmus work machines, LFP cells (lithium iron phosphate) with comparatively increased fire resistance are used.

Incidentally, the nominal operating voltage of 48 volts for Rehmus machines is generally safe for most people.

Yes, definitely. The size of the battery can be selected between 8kWh, 16kWh and 32kWh. With the largest battery, you can spread about 50 square bales in your barn. If it gets a bit more during the first bedding, lithium-ion batteries are happy to be charged during short breaks.

Quite simply via any commercially available Schuko socket with 16A fuse protection located in your stable or on your farm. The charging time for the standard battery (16kWh) is about six hours at household sockets. The small battery (8kWh) takes about four hours and the large battery (32kWh) only 12 hours to fully charge. Normally, however, the battery is not completely empty and therefore does not need to be fully charged. This shortens the charging times considerably.

With a tare weight of less than 2,400kg, the new Rehmus e:Spreader is a true compact wonder in any modular configuration. Nevertheless, two square or round bales of up to 800kg can be loaded without any problems. 

Cleaning is very easy with a high-pressure cleaner. The basic vehicle was designed according to basic ideas of shipbuilding as a closed hull without hidden corners or edges. This makes the Rehmus machines extremely easy to clean. All components accessible from the outside comply with a high protection class against dust and moisture. We have designed our working machines to at least IP65 protection*. So don't worry about using water near Rehmus electrical machines.

*IP65 protection class:

1st code number: Protection against foreign bodies
6 = Protected against dust ingress (dust-tight)

2nd code number: Protection against moisture or water ingress
5 = Protected against water jets (nozzle) from any angle

All essential components such as the drive train, controls and batteries are maintenance-free.

The built-in battery technology is designed for at least 2,000 charging cycles and thus lasts the life of the machine. However, if something unexpected should happen, our integrated diagnostic software allows safe and uncomplicated remote maintenance to solve the problem and ensure operational readiness.

But of course. Thanks to the individually driven wheels and the high traction of the electric drives even in the low speed range, driving on soft surfaces is perfectly possible. However, if your barn is a little wetter and muddier, the optionally available all-wheel drive is recommended for maximum traction.

Of course! Fully loaded Rehmus work machines can be manoeuvred effortlessly even on gradients of at least 20%. Undergrounds such as gravel are a trivial undertaking thanks to our intelligent travel drives and electric speed control.
