Discover the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
What is the towing capacity of a vehicle?
Spijkstaal supplies electric vehicles with a towing capacity ranging from 1 to 150 tons. A model is always available to suit your specific requirements. The maximum towing capacity of your vehicle can be found on the chassis plate.
Is a charger included as standard with every vehicle?
Yes, every Spijkstaal tow tractor or platform truck is supplied with a charger as standard. If you already possess a charger and do not require an additional one, you may purchase a vehicle without a charger.
How long can a vehicle operate before requiring a recharge?
The operating time depends on the battery type and usage. Driving on inclines or rough terrain consumes more energy than on a flat surface. Spijkstaal can perform an energy calculation to provide an accurate estimate. Some models offer the option for easy battery swapping.
