Silent Strength, Zero Compromise.

For over 75 years, Thwaites has led innovation in site dumpers. Today, manufactured at our Leamington Spa facility. Our new, all-electric range of 2-tonne Hi-Swivel & 3-tonne Power Swivel dumpers delivers zero-emission performance without compromise—empowering plant hire companies and urban renewal contractors to meet environmental targets while maintaining productivity.

See the new range at the forthcoming Executive Hire Show in Coventry Feb 11th & 12th.

Charging Ahead.

Engineered for demanding applications, Thwaites electric dumpers feature maintenance-free lithium-ion batteries (48V system) with full-shift endurance: a single charge supports 8 hours of typical site operation. The low-mounted battery pack and driveline lower the centre of gravity, enhancing stability and safety compared to diesel/hydrostatic equivalents, with comparable unladen weight.

Charging flexibility ensures minimal downtime: the standard 3.4kW on-board charger achieves 0-100% in 8 hours, while optional off-board units (7kW single-phase or 22kW three-phase) reduce times to 4 or 2 hours. Dual efficient electric motors provide precise control and manoeuvrability.

Why Electric…Why Now.

In urban renewal and confined-site projects—multi-storey refurbishments, underground works, or city-centre schemes—these machines excel: zero exhaust emissions comply with low-emission zones and NRMM regulations; near-silent operation reduces noise complaints and extends working hours; no diesel fumes improve air quality and operator comfort.

For plant hire specialists, offering Thwaites electric dumpers this opens new revenue streams, enhances tender competitiveness, boosts margins through lower running costs, and meets growing client demand for sustainable fleets.

There has never been a better time to buy a Thwaites dumper.
