Frequently Asked

Electric Loader Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about buying and operating a Nesher electric loader.

Purchasing

Where can I buy a Nesher loader in Canada?

Voltis Entreprises is the authorized Nesher distributor for Eastern Canada. You can order directly through our website, or contact us for a personalized quote.

Can I order online?

Yes. Build your loader in the configurator and reserve it with a 30% deposit paid securely through Stripe; the balance is due on delivery. If you would rather talk first, you can request a quote with no commitment.

How long does delivery take?

Lead time depends on the model and configuration, so we confirm it with your quote. Contact us for the current timeline. We ship across Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes.

Are there tax credits for buying one?

Two federal measures apply. Any business can deduct 100% of the cost in the first year. Incorporated Canadian businesses may also be able to claim a refundable credit of up to 30% on a new electric loader. We have found no provincial purchase grant for off-road electric equipment as of October 2026. Our tax credit guide on the blog explains who can claim what; confirm with your accountant.

Performance

Is a Nesher loader an electric tractor?

It does the jobs most people buy a compact tractor with a front-end loader for — loading, lifting, moving material, clearing snow and digging — but it is built as a compact wheel loader, with all-wheel drive, joystick controls and attachments you can swap in minutes. If you are shopping for an electric tractor mainly to run a bucket, pallet forks or a snow plow, a Nesher is the electric alternative.

How much can these loaders actually lift?

Rated loads are 880 lb for the L880, 1,400 lb for the L1400 and 2,500 lb for the L2500. Tell us what you need to lift and we will point you to the right model.

How long does a full charge last?

Plan on 4 to 6 hours of work per charge, depending on the load, the terrain and the temperature. For most owners that covers a full day of on-and-off use.

Can they handle Canadian winters?

Yes, with less run time. Like any battery, the pack delivers less energy in the cold, so plan for shorter work sessions in deep winter and store or charge the machine indoors when you can. The L1400 can be ordered with a heated cab and the L2500 includes one.

Which attachments are available?

Every loader comes with a general bucket. For the L880 and L1400 you can add pallet forks, an auger, a digger arm, a snow plow, a 4-in-1 bucket and a grapple. The L2500 is offered with pallet forks and a digger arm. Attachment prices are listed on each product page and in the configurator.

Charging & Power

What kind of outlet do I need to charge?

Any standard 120V outlet works — no special charging infrastructure required. A 240V supply charges faster; ask us about charger options for your model.

How long does it take to charge?

From empty on a standard 120V, 15-amp outlet, plan on about 8 hours for the L880, 12 hours for the L1400 and 20 hours for the L2500. A top-up after a partial day takes less. A 240V supply charges faster, and we recommend it for the L2500 if you work full days back to back.

Service & Warranty

What's the warranty?

Two years on the machine and three years on the battery pack. Extended warranties available.

Where do I get service?

We provide service directly from Shawinigan, Quebec. Mobile service is available for customers within Eastern Canada.
