Zero-Emission Precision. Zero-Constraint Access.
 
The Sunward SWE 10FE is the ultimate 1-tonne solution for the evolving UK construction landscape. Combining a fully electric powertrain with a compact, versatile chassis, this machine is purpose-built for high-performance excavation in confined urban sites, internal demolition projects, and noise-sensitive environments where traditional diesel emissions are prohibited.
 
The BritPlant Deal:
From £113 per week (+VAT) on Contract Hire.
£0 Deposit & Brand New.
 
Premium "Site-Ready" Specification:
 
Our SWE10FE electric fleet is factory-ordered with a professional specification to ensure immediate acceptance on Tier 1 and "Green" sites:  
 
✅ Retractable Undercarriage (750mm–1000mm): Hydraulically retract the tracks to just 750mm to pass through standard internal doorways, then expand to 1,000mm for maximum digging stability during operation.
 
✅ Advanced LFP Battery Technology: Powered by a high-capacity 13.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, providing 4–6 hours of real-world autonomy and support for 2-hour fast charging to keep your projects moving.
 
✅ Powerful 5.5kW Motor: The high-torque, three-phase asynchronous motor delivers a bucket breakout force of 9.4kN, rivalling diesel counterparts while remaining virtually maintenance-free.
 
✅ Extended Reach & Depth: Engineered with a boom design that provides a maximum digging reach of 2,845mm and a depth of 1,440mm, reducing machine repositions and boosting hourly output.
 
✅ Quieter & Clean Operation: Operation allows for extended working hours in residential areas or schools, while zero tailpipe emissions make it the primary choice for basement and tunnel works.
 
Why Choose Long-Term Contract Hire?
Transitioning to an electric fleet doesn't have to be capital-intensive. A BritPlant contract de-risks your move to Net Zero by providing financial and operational certainty.  
✅ Inflation-Proof Fixed Costs: Secure your £113/week rate now. While energy and material costs fluctuate, your plant procurement remains fixed and predictable for the duration of your project or framework.
✅ ESG & Site Compliance: Many major UK tenders now mandate "Zero Emission" plant. Contract hire allows you to meet these "Green" requirements immediately without a massive upfront capital outlay.

Net Zero Strategy & Site Compliance
 
Deploying the SWE10FE directly supports your firm’s Scope 3 emissions reduction and helps meet SBTi (Science Based Targets) by eliminating tailpipe emissions from your site operations. It provides simplified compliance for SECR and ESOS Phase 4 reporting by replacing site-level fuel consumption with transparent, quantifiable energy data—making it a critical asset for your corporate ESG audits and carbon management plans.
