The Gator™ TE Utility Vehicle features a motor powered by a 48-V electrical system.

  • This electrical system provides plenty of power to accelerate faster, carry loads, climb hills better, and perform evenly until recharge

Through the use of a separately excited controller, the Gator TE offers the following unique features:

  • Dynamic braking
    • The motor brakes when the operator lets off the accelerator; it is not a substitute for the brakes
  • Overspeed control
    • Reduces exposure to high-speed situations even when descending a hill; under normal conditions with a light load, the vehicle will not freewheel down an incline
  • Roll away
    • The electronic brake limits the vehicle speed to approximately 3.2 km/h (2 mph) and prevents the vehicle from freewheeling down a grade when left unattended
  • Reduced speed in reverse
    • Controls the vehicle speed to approximately 13 km/h (8 mph) without the loss of torque
  • Anti-rollback
    • When stopped on a grade, this feature prevents the vehicle from freewheeling in the opposite direction of the original travel direction
  • Regeneration
    • Energy is transformed back into the batteries when the vehicle travels faster than the set maximum speed; regeneration also occurs when dynamic braking is engaged; an estimated 3 percent to 5 percent regenerative energy is put back into the batteries during a day of work
  • Diagnostics
    • An onboard computer diagnoses the electrical system; using a flashing indicator light, a sequence of flashes indicates where the controller is having problems communicating
  • Speed control
    • The controller is set for a vehicle speed of 20.92 km/h (13 mph)
  • Key-off control
    • Permits the function of the interlock and safety features with the key in the off position
  • Directional change control
    • When switching from forward to reverse, the machine will come to a complete stop and then changes directions; this prevents a whiplash effect and potential high stress on the drivetrain

Power is transferred through a transaxle with helical gearing for low gear noise.

Onboard battery charger

The Gator™ TE is equipped with an Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) approved onboard charger. Located under the passenger seat, the onboard charger allows the user to charge their TE from any location containing a wall receptacle. This saves the user time, as they do not have to travel back to the maintenance area for charging; charging can be done anywhere.

The onboard charger is designed with a wide input voltage range from 85 - 265 VAC, making it capable for worldwide application. Power factor correction and 12A maximum current draw ensures the charger will work reliably from any power outlet in the world, even through surges and sags.

Improved run time

The onboard charger features advanced temperature sensor technology that improves the information flow coming in and out of charger. The batteries are allowed to charge more fully than they were ever able to before; this can improve run time by up to 75 percent (depending on use cycle).

 

Important safety features of the charger are as follows:

  • Vehicle ignition interlock
    • Prevents the vehicle from being driven while connected to the charger
  • Automatic shutoff
    • Battery charger automatically shuts off after reaching the full charge

The Gator TE is equipped with an external AC input IEC connector on the driver side of the vehicle to allow the flexibility of where the charger cord is stored. There is a multicolor LED indicator for low charge, more than 80 percent charge, full charge, or fault.

Heavy-duty frame

The heavy-duty design with arc-welded uni-body construction provides strength and manufacturing tolerance control.

Love It on the Farms!!!

My team and I use this vehicle for all labor purposes on the farm, everyone was excited to drive this vehicle. Durable, quiet, and powerful with the ability to drive it inside...did I mention the longevity of a fully charged battery is insane and lasts for days!? When other departments see us cruising, they look on with extreme envy!

Quiet and powerful

Had the Gator TE for over a year now- it has worked flawlessly since delivery. Hauls everything around our farm - tools, feed, hay bales, compost. Got the power dump bed and use it frequently. It is very quite and does not disturb our stock.
