Zero-Emission Power. Zero Tail Precision.
 
The Wacker Neuson EZ17e is the ultimate 1.7-tonne solution for the modern UK construction landscape. Combining full electric performance with a "Zero Tail" design, this machine allows for high-power excavation in confined urban spaces, indoor refurbishments, and noise-sensitive environments where traditional diesel units are restricted.
 
The BritPlant Deal:
From £244 per week (+VAT) on Contract Hire.
£0 Deposit & Brand New.
 
Premium "Site-Ready" Specification:
Our EZ17e electric fleet is factory-ordered with the highest safety and productivity specs to ensure immediate site acceptance:
 
✅ Telescopic Expanding Undercarriage: Hydraulically retract the tracks to just 990mm to pass through standard narrow doorways, then expand to 1,300mm for maximum digging stability.
 
✅ Long Dipper Arm: Specially equipped with a long dipper to provide an extended digging depth of up to 2,483mm, reducing machine repositioning and increasing hourly productivity.
 
✅ Full LED Lighting Package: High-intensity LED work lights (front and rear) ensure safe operation in low-light indoor environments or during out-of-hours urban night works.
 
✅ Integrated Immobiliser (KAT): Protect your site and reduce insurance premiums with the factory-fitted anti-theft immobiliser system.
 
✅ Zero Tail Swing: The upper carriage never overshoots the tracks, allowing your operators to work flush against walls or in tight traffic lanes without the risk of rear-end collisions.
 
Why Choose Long-Term Contract Hire?
Transitioning to an electric fleet can 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 £244/week rate now. While energy and material costs fluctuate, your plant procurement remains fixed for the duration of the project.
 
✅ ESG & Site Compliance: Many major UK tenders now require a percentage of "Zero Emission" plant on-site. Contract hire allows you to meet these "Green" requirements without a massive upfront capital outlay.
 
Net Zero Strategy & Site Compliance Deploying the EZ17e directly supports your firm’s Scope 3 emissions reduction and helps meet SBTi (Science Based Targets) by eliminating tailpipe emissions from your supply chain. It provides simplified compliance for SECR and ESOS Phase 4 reporting by replacing site-level fuel consumption with transparent energy data, making it a critical asset for your corporate ESG audits and carbon management plans.
