Firstgreen Industries says its Elise 1200 electric skid steer is designed for “extreme power, clean operation and minimum noise for the operator and environment.”
The company’s strongest skid steer has a 2,645-pound load capacity, a 5,291-pound tipping load and 144-inch hinge pin height. It can be operated using the joystick in the cab, via the Danfoss remote or Firstgreen’s mobile app.
Total Landscape Care's sister publication Equipment World got a closer look at the Elise 1200 at the ARA Show earlier this year. Take a full walkaround with COO Marcus Suess in our video below.
Two power modes are available, Power or Normal, allowing operators to customize the machine’s performance for their needs while reducing energy consumption. The operator can also set four individual travel and hydraulic speeds for added precision.

The floating/dumping feature allows the machine to adjust to uneven terrain, provide better control over material handling and perform a wider range of tasks.
Enhanced cabin roof protection shields the cab from damage caused by falling objects or harsh conditions. External safety kill switches, located on the fenders and the rear of the machine, allow for immediate shutdown in the event of an emergency.
