Option 2: Haddad’s Hybrid Stakebed – Continuous, Efficient, and Low-Emission Power
Haddad’s Hybrid Stakebed combines a B.E.S.S. with a Tier 4 diesel generator, ensuring continuous, efficient, and low-emission power. This system provides quiet, clean energy while the generator acts as a backup and recharging source.
Battery Features:
- 198kWh lithium-ion battery
- Run Time: 16-18 hours @ 100 amps, 6 hours @ 300 amps
- Recharge Time: 2-6 hours
- Output: 36kW continuous, 42kW peak
- Voltage: 120/240V single-phase output
- Bluetooth monitoring
- Pass-through capability
Generator Features:
- 1400-amp generator with Tier 4 diesel engine
- Super quiet: 55 decibels from 23 feet
- Capable of using renewable diesel
- Truck mounted for easy mobility
How the Generator Complements the Battery:
- Recharges the battery for minimal downtime and continuous operation
- Provides backup power if loads exceed battery output
- Pass-through capability ensures uninterrupted operation
- Quiet and eco-friendly compared to traditional generators
- Easily transportable for splinter job sites, remote locations, and mobile power needs
Emissions Comparison: Tier 3 vs. Tier 4 (running at 300 amps)
- NOx: 4.00 g/kWh (Tier 3) vs. 0.40 g/kWh (Tier 4)
- PM: 0.20 g/kWh (Tier 3) vs. 0.02 g/kWh (Tier 4)
- CO and HC: Same levels for both tiers
Additional Generator Advantages:
- Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) reduce harmful emissions
- High-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel systems for cleaner combustion
- Load-sensing technology to adjust power output and conserve fuel
- Reduced idling time and fuel waste
- Eco-friendly engine materials
The Hybrid Stakebed delivers clean, silent energy while the generator provides reliability and recharging power, making it a sustainable, high-performance alternative to traditional power sources.
