Closely resembling the electrically-powered Rigitrac SKE 40 (previewed at Agritechnica 2019 and on sale since the end of 2020), the Keestrack B1e has the same rated and maximum outputs of 40kW (54hp) and 64kW (87hp), respectively.
The main difference concerns the paintwork. Keestrack’s machine is finished in the same dark grey and yellow as the rest of its mining, recycling and construction equipment.
Assembled at the Goldoni Keestrack factory in Migliarina, Italy, the B1e has an electrically driven PTO at the front and rear (540/750/1000rpm). Rear linkage lift capacity is 1.5t and hydraulic output is 40l/min. The wheelbase of the 2.3t tractor is 1.72m and the width 1.32m.
The first tractors will be dispatched next summer. Rigitrac will sell its tractor in Switzerland, Austria, southern Tirol and southern Germany, while Keestrack will cover the rest of Europe and overseas markets through its global dealer network.
