ERGO Waste Collection Body with E-Lifter

In addition to the ERGO Waste Collection Body, Van den Born also offers this system in combination with the latest innovation: the BAS E-Lifter. Read more about this electric side loader.

The E-Lifter is the new standard in collecting waste

The waste management and cleaning sector is increasingly facing stricter regulations and higher expectations regarding environmental impact and sustainability. For example zero-emission zones and the growing electrification of vehicle fleets.

Van den Born is a company focused on smart and sustainable innovation. We have developed an ergonomic solution with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that meets these regulatory requirements in collaboration with BAS E-Lifters.

With the BAS E-Lifter side-loading system, Van den Born has exclusive access to a fully electric side loader. Combined with the ERGO waste collection body, this creates a compact, powerful, and future-proof solution for:

  • Municipalities
  • Public cleaning services
  • Social employment organizations
  • Waste collectors operating in urban areas

Key Benefits

✅ Maximum Range & Efficiency

Unlike traditional electro-hydraulic systems, the E-Lifter consumes minimal power. As a result, the impact on the driving range of your electric commercial vehicle is virtually negligible. This allows you to empty containers throughout the entire working day without compromising driving range.

✅ Low Maintenance – Fully Electric

The system is fully electrically driven and does not use any hydraulic components that's one of the reasons why maintenance costs are significantly reduced. The only required maintenance is lubricating the two guide chains. This results in a considerably lower Total Cost of Ownership compared to electro-hydraulic systems.

✅ Exceptionally quiet in use

Its silent operation prevents disturbances in residential areas while also increasing safety. Because the machine operates quietly, the operator remains more aware of their surroundings and can more easily notice cyclists or pedestrians.

✅ Optimal Ergonomics & Speed

The E-Lifter empties a full container in less than 10 seconds. Once the container reaches the seat, the seat lifts to its starting position, allowing the container to tip over the comb bars. If the container does not fully or correctly engage with the comb bars, it cannot be lifted. In addition, the system uses two-hand control, ensuring maximum operational safety.

✅ Maximum Payload Capacity

With a net weight of less than 200 kg, the system preserves more usable payload capacity for the vehicle. This results in fewer loading cycles, longer operating distances, and lower operational costs.

Application in Public Space Management

The E-Lifter is not just a container lift. It is an integral component of a modern setup for light commercial vehicles used for:

  • Zero-emission waste collection
  • Emptying 80–360 litre two-wheel containers in city centres
  • Waste collection within zero-emission zones
  • Support for green space maintenance and public cleaning operations

If you are looking for a side loader or electric container lift for light (electric) commercial vehicles used in public waste collection, the ELifter offers one of the most compact and efficient solutions in its class.

Key Features and Benefits of the E-Lifter

  • 15% lower fuel/energy consumption thanks to the fully electric design and zero CO₂ emissions
  • User-friendly operation with fast emptying time (less than 10 seconds)
  • High maximum lifting capacity of 170 kg
  • Low curb weight (under 200 kg) resulting in more payload and fewer trips
  • Vertical lifting movement, ideal for the narrowest streets while minimizing unsafe working areas
  • Very low maintenance requirements and a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  • Quick and efficient container unloading; No shaking required because of the large tipping angle
  • Soft-start lifting geometry, ergonomically optimized for operators
  • Highly suitable for electric commercial vehicles, with installation possible on both chassis-cab and platform-cab vehicles

In-House quality

From the initial design and production to final vehicle approval, Van den Born manages the entire process in-house. This ensures a perfect integration with your vehicle and full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
