Toro will showcase its new electric Ultra Buggy and eDingo 500 at Executive Hire Show 14th
& 15th February 2024.
“We’re excited to have these innovative earthmoving and material handling products onsite for landscape contractor professionals to experience firsthand,” says Matt Coleman, Sales Manager, LCE & Siteworks UK Direct Business Toro UK Ltd.
“The electric Ultra Buggy gives a new edge to urban projects with its manoeuvrability and emission-free operation — while the eDingo 500 offers simple, powerful operations to improve productivity and efficiency on landscape and hardscape jobs.”
In January 2023, Toro introduced its next generation of electric compact utility loaders: the Toro eDingo 500. With major upgrades since its first generation launch in 2020, the eDingo 500 delivers exceptional runtime in a compact design, allowing it to fit in the tightest spaces and tackling the toughest of jobs.
The eDingo 500’s is ideal for indoor construction and demolition, and is powered by the HyperCell Power System, a new battery technology developed by Toro to match the power of traditional internal combustion-powered products with zero engine-exhaust emissions and less noise.
The new eDingo 500 is optimised to deliver up to an eight-hour continuous runtime, while maintaining a 515 lbs (234 kg) Rated Operated Capacity (ROC) allowing it to complete more jobs with less hassle.
The electric Ultra Buggy is powered by Toro’s HyperCell battery technology, adding yet another dynamic piece of battery-powered equipment to Toro’s growing portfolio. Designed for indoor use, landscape contractors who operate in tight or semi-enclosed urban areas will find the new, zero-engine exhaust emissions electric Ultra Buggy beneficial on the job site.
The proprietary HyperCell battery system delivers up to eight hours of continuous run time and charges using a standard wall outlet. The compact design allows the electric Ultra Buggy to fit through a 3-ft door with a crash bar and reach areas of the jobsite that larger machinery cannot.
Built to be versatile and agile, it’s equipped with a fold-up platform so operators can choose to stand on or walk behind the unit. The electric Ultra Buggy’s durable design is ready to haul up to 14 cu. ft. or 2,500 lbs. of material in a rugged polyethylene tub. Additionally, the mounted directional and dump switches ensure continuous movement while operating the machine.
Also on display, the Toro Dingo TX 700 is a workhorse of a machine, providing remarkable power in a compact package.
The Dingo TX 700 adds to Toro’s already-extensive Dingo lineup. This one stands out with its ability to expand labour savings beyond homeowner projects. Due to the Dingo TX 700’s small size and powerful punch, it’s the ideal machine for both homeowners and contractors working within the confines of tight spaces. It packs 700 pounds of rated operating capacity into its small footprint, bringing Toro-level power to everything it touches.
“The compact size, power, punch and flexibility of the Dingo TX 700 is bound to be a game-changer for operators,” says Matt Coleman. “The fact that it’s powerful yet compact, very user-friendly, and incredibly capable, increases the applications for the Dingo TX 700 on the jobsite or at home.”
Featuring patented Dingo TX 1000 traction controls and a dedicated stand-on platform, the Dingo TX 700 is easy-to-use and boasts increased comfort and visibility. Even if the user is new to operating heavy machinery, it will quickly become second nature. The versatility of Dingos, or compact utility loaders, is well-known — and the Dingo TX 700 is no different. It’s also compatible with dozens of attachments, meaning the machine can be used for a wide range of jobs.
Attachments include multiple types of buckets, adjustable forks, a grapple, leveler, utility blade, and more. Completing more work without having to rent multiple machines is a major advantage, and the TX 700 is intuitive to operate. It’s easy on turf, too.
The Dingo TX 700 is available in both narrow track and wide track configurations — the wide track option is equipped with the industry tested Camso track system.
The system features a less aggressive tread pattern that’s gentle on turf and minimizes damage, perfect for homeowners looking to keep their pristine lawn intact.
