Staad, a family business based in Veghel, the Netherlands, is setting a new standard in the world of electric earthmoving machines with the launch of the STAAD 17W. At Bauma 2025, Staad revealed their first fully in-house developed electric excavator, a major milestone for the company and the European market. The STAAD 17W is a 17-tonne, emission-free excavator that requires no conversion, but is fully developed designed, and produced by Staad. The machine will be available starting mid-2026.

Staad has positioned itself as a pioneer in the field of electric earthmoving machines and mobile energy solutions since 2019 and has already sold more than 200 large electric earthmoving machines of which more than 130 are electric mobile excavators. The company focuses on delivering technology that is both innovative and sustainable, contributing to a cleaner, greener world. The STAAD 17W is the result of years of expertise and ambition to provide an electric alternative that not only delivers the best performance, but also minimizes the environmental impact at the cost of a conventional diesel machine.

The STAAD 17W is a state-of-the-art electric mobile excavator which is not only emission-free, but also offers maximum versatility and ease of use. Among the key features are:
• 100% Electric Design: The STAAD 17W is not a converted machine, but a fully electric solution that rolls off the production line without emissions.
• Maximum Operating Time: The machine offers 9 to 11 hours of continuous operation without the need for recharging or battery replacement during average use (measured during field tests).
• 24/7 Work Capacity: Thanks to a unique patented battery-swapping system, the STAAD 17W can operate continuously. Swapping the Powerbox 300 battery takes less than 5 minutes.
• Powerbox 300 Battery: The newly developed, replaceable Powerbox 300 battery can also be used as an independent and standalone AC power generator, offering a flexible energy solution for various on-site energy needs.
• Compact and Agile: The design of the machine is optimized to operate in tight spaces, with a compact super structure and innovative boom and arm design. The total swing radius of the upper carriage is reduced by 74 cm compared to the regular 14-tonne diesel equivalent.
• Smart Safety: The STAAD 17W is equipped with an AI-driven obstacle avoidance system and a 360-degree camera system, enhancing safety and efficiency. Haptic feedback from the joysticks warns the operator of unsafe situations.

Ultimate comfort for the operator
The new cabin of the STAAD 17W is specially designed with the operator in mind. It offers unparalleled comfort, advanced technology and ergonomics. The spacious cabin offers luxury, low noise and vibration levels, and excellent visibility. In addition, the machine features the best seat on the market for long-lasting comfort during work. The wheel steering, travel direction and all additional hydraulic functions can be operated simultaneously from the heated joysticks using 6 rollers and 12 switches, without having to release your hands to reach other switches. The functionality of the rollers and switches can be customized per user for optimal user comfort.

Future proof
With the STAAD 17W, Staad aims to further strengthen its leading role as a manufacturer of electric excavators in Europe. The company is determined to shape the future of earthmoving machines through innovative technologies that improve both productivity and sustainability. The launch of the STAAD 17W marks a new phase in Staad’s mission: building a more sustainable world through electric earthmoving machines and mobile energy solutions.
