Parker Hannifin has introduced the industry’s first certified Mobile Electrification Technology Center to train technicians in transitioning from diesel engines to electric motors for mobile equipment. The shift to electric motors is providing new opportunities for construction and engineering companies in various environments, but also presents challenges in integrating hydraulic implements and other accessories designed for 12V power. This new training program aims to address these challenges, as well as provide comprehensive training on high-voltage electric vehicle repair and maintenance to ensure technician safety.
Nott Company, along with two other North American distributors, have already completed the certification program and are now certified on Parker’s electric motors, drives, controllers, and control systems. This move towards electric equipment assets like Bobcat’s T7X compact track loader and E10e electric excavator highlights the need for specialized electrical systems training as traditional diesel and hydraulic expertise becomes less relevant.
The certification programs, like Parker’s Mobile Electrification Technology Center, are crucial in bridging the skills gap and ensuring technicians are equipped to work efficiently with high-voltage systems. As more companies make the shift to electric mobile equipment, programs like these will become increasingly important in helping technicians adapt to the changing industry landscape.
