[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 211637, member: 4485"] Opal mining boggers are more like a Dingo (mini digger) than a front end loader. To get 1-1.5t lift you might need to look at 415v. One for sale on eBay was 240v but only had a lifting capacity of 500kg. I'm assuming that you have a lease so for 415v you'd have compliance to follow to like earth continuity protection systems. You'd probably need to engineer it from the capacity you want back i.e. hydraulics to suit desired lift capacity > suitable hyd accumulator + drive motor to drive wheels > suitable hyd pump for total hyd system > suitable electric motor to drive hyd pump. Might be worth the cost of engineering input from a specialist? [/QUOTE]
