Goupil G4 Toolbox

The G4 utility vehicle has the option to include a number of different body combinations with the G4-08 model combining a pick-up body and toolbox. Built using electro-galvanised steel, the toolbox is fully waterproof ensuring contents remain protected even during the wettest weather conditions. It features lockable doors on both sides for increased security and measures 1100mm x 475mm x 1150mm (0.5m³) providing space for a wide range of tools. The aluminium pick-up with dropdown and detachable sides and rear tailgate and plywood deck is perfect for transporting heavy goods across a range of sites.

Unlike many electric vehicles, the G4-08 doesn’t require any additional and expensive charging infrastructure. With an onboard charger, the G4-08 can be charged via the mains socket ensuring an exceptionally long operating time. Available with either lead-acid or lithium-ion, there are two battery sizes to choose from, ensuring the right battery size and technology is paired correctly to the application. The lithium-ion battery option allows for a payload capacity of up to 852kg. Battery options include:

11.5 kWh 48V 240Ah lead-acid battery
15.4 kWh 48V 320Ah lead-acid battery
9.0 kWh 48V 190Ah lithium-ion battery
14.0 kWh 48V 300Ah lithium-ion battery

The G4 provides a safe and comfortable working environment. The lightweight aluminium cab is protected with polypropylene bumpers and includes ABS glass front and rear screens with electric front wiper, screen wash and electric heated front windscreen.

Both driver and passenger have adjustable seats and padded adjustable headrests and afforded excellent all-round visibility with a rear cab window and fully glazed doors with views of pavement and kerb.

The instrument panel incorporates a high-definition LCD colour display which includes battery discharge indicator, digital speedometer, odometer and low-level warning lights.

The G4-08 is a fully road legal utility vehicle allowing operators to use public highways when travelling between sites. With a max speed of 31mph and a high/low-speed switch, the G4-08 is easily controlled while in transit or at work. To comply with highway regulations, the utility vehicle features road legal lighting as well as a number of safety measures to protect the operator and surrounding pedestrians or vehicles. An amber flashing beacon mounted to the cab, horn, safety cut-out seating, emergency isolator, automatic audible warning in reverse, and electronic regenerative braking under deceleration all come as standard.

Constructed with McPherson suspensions at the front and with composite blades at the back, a double circuit brake system produces a comfortable ride.

Responsive acceleration comes from a 48-volt Curtis controller and reaches a maximum speed of 31mph, and handles gradients up to 30%.

The G4 incorporates electronic regenerative braking under deceleration with proportioning electric braking.  The dual-circuit hydraulic brake system comes with front disk brakes and rear drum brakes, and hand-operated park brake with a torque-limiting sensor.

A high/low-speed switch with two-speeds; 6.5 and 31mph give operators control to reduce the vehicles speed restricted sites to prevent over speeding.

The G4 incorporates a safety seat cut out whereby the vehicle will not operate unless the driver is seated.
