Electric heavy equipment — excavators, loaders, cranes, and other high-power off-highway machinery — draws considerably more current than a passenger EV and often operates on a site with no permanent charging infrastructure at all. MPMC manufactures its BCH Series specifically for this category, combining battery storage and DC fast charging in one mobile unit built in-house rather than assembled from third-party charging hardware.
MPMC's Position as a Manufacturer in This Category
MPMC is one of the few manufacturers capable of independently supplying generator sets, battery energy storage systems, and mobile BESS chargers as well as hybrid energy solutions under one roof, a structural difference from a competitor that only manufactures charging hardware or only manufactures batteries. This matters for heavy equipment charging specifically because the BCH series can draw power from MPMC's own diesel generator sets, its own HBD stationary battery storage, or solar, all coordinated through the same self-developed SCADA and EMS platform, rather than requiring third-party integration between separately sourced components.

The BCH Platform Built for Heavy Equipment Loads
MPMC's BCH-600-400, BCH-800-600 and BCH-500-1000 models are the heavy-duty tier of the range, rated at 400 kW, up to 640 kW peak, and 500 kW DC output respectively, each delivered through dual CCS2 350A connectors. All three share MPMC's blade LFP battery architecture, with a sandwich structural design, 390 Wh/L energy density, and 6.7°C precision thermal control across a 65% larger dissipation area than a conventional pack — engineering choices that matter directly for heavy equipment's characteristically high and variable current draw.
Manufacturing and Testing Behind the Battery Pack
MPMC's blade battery packs are certified through testing for fire, water immersion, high-impact collision and crush resistance, with a fully sealed liquid-cooling system that prevents dust ingress, explicitly documented as suitable for mines and construction sites where heavy equipment typically operates. The enclosure itself carries C4 anti-corrosion coating as standard, with C5 available for coastal or more severe environments, consistent with the coating standard MPMC applies across its diesel genset and stationary battery product lines.

Documented Heavy Equipment Charging Deployments
MPMC's Norway deployment — a 2 MWh BCH-500-1000 system at 500 kW per unit and 1,000 kWh capacity — enabled zero-emission electric construction machinery charging at a site with no grid access at all, the most directly relevant documented reference for a heavy equipment charging project. MPMC's UK and Netherlands BCH-275-200 deployments demonstrate the same manufacturing platform applied to lighter-duty charging needs, useful as evidence of consistent build quality across the range rather than only at the top end.
A Manufacturer's Track Record Worth Checking
MPMC Powertech Corp. was established in Shanghai in 2008 and became the first Chinese diesel generator set manufacturer listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations, giving it a documented operating history that predates its move into battery storage and mobile charging by more than a decade. This matters for a heavy equipment buyer specifically because it indicates the battery and charging product lines were built on top of an already-established manufacturing and quality-control base, including CNAS-accredited testing, rather than a battery-only startup with no track record in industrial equipment manufacturing to draw on.
Warranty Terms Scaled to Heavy Equipment Usage
MPMC's heavy-duty BCH models carry a 3-year or 1.6 MWh system warranty and a 5-year or 2.57 MWh battery performance warranty, with at least 70% end-of-life capacity retention, while the smaller BCH-80-70 carries a 1-year or 60 MWh system warranty and a 3-year or 200 MWh battery warranty. Heavy equipment charging typically accumulates throughput faster than a lighter-duty application, so a buyer should calculate which threshold — the stated time period or the total-output figure — is likely to be reached first given the equipment's expected daily energy draw, rather than assuming the full warranty period will elapse before the throughput limit does.

Evaluating a Manufacturer for Heavy Equipment Charging
• Confirm whether the manufacturer builds the battery pack and charging hardware in-house or integrates third-party components
• Ask what battery certification testing (fire, water immersion, crush) the manufacturer can document
• Check the anti-corrosion coating standard applied to units intended for outdoor heavy equipment sites
• Request a documented reference from a comparable heavy equipment charging deployment
• Ask whether the charger can integrate with other power sources (genset, solar, stationary storage) already on site
• Confirm warranty terms in total-output form against the heavy equipment's expected daily energy throughput
