Cargo Capacity | 1,200 lbs. | 450 lbs. | Pack Mule’s BCG-6200 provides nearly three times more cargo capacity than Cushman. That means more work done each trip and fewer trips. The result: less wear on the vehicle and reduced maintenance. |
Towing Capacity | 8,000 lbs. | 8000 lbs. | Equal towing doesn’t mean equal work. Pack Mule’s greater cargo capacity and longer run time, along with with 8,000 towing mean that more work gets done between charges. |
Deck Size | Rear: 35.5" x 25"
Front: 35.5" x 21.3" | 33.5" x 21" | Pack Mule’s combined 11 square feet of shelf space (compared to less than 5 squre feet for Cushman) not only lets you carry more, but makes it easier to load. That means increased productivity and lower maintenance and labor costs. |
Motor | Sealed A/C motor | Seperately excited motor | Pack Mule’s more efficient A/C motor, coupled with the industry’s most advanced controller, means that there’s power when you need it. And since the A/C motor has no brushes to inspect and replace, it’s maintenance free. |
Battery | 245 amp/hour | 225 amp/hour | Higher amps per hour increase runtime and battery life. Pack Mule provides almost 10% more amp hours. |
Steering | Precision Rack and Pinion
Heavy Duty 1” steering pivot shaft.
Front axle with tapered bearings and center support between front tires. | 3/4" steering pivot and 3/4" front axle wih smaller bearings using push rods, levers and bushings | Ease and precision of steering not only affect driver performance, but also safety, especially in close areas. Additionally, the more robust steering greatly reduces downtime. |
Braking | Programmable dual regenerative braking. | 3-wheel hydraulic drum brakes | The Pack Mule NXG’s more efficient energy harvesting means that more of the kinetic energy created by the brakes goes to the battery and less to wearing out the brake pads. The result: longer run time, longer battery life, and less wear on the brakes. |
Tires | Heavy duty 6-ply Load Range C, 90 PSI
Wide-stance dual front tires. | 4-ply Load Range B 60 psi. Single
front tire. | Not only do Pack Mule’s heavier-duty tires increase load capacity, their 90-PSI inflation reduces rolling resistance, increasing the vehicle’s run time. The wide-stance tires provide greater stability and control. |
Instrumentation | Smart View display showing battery status, hours, and fault codes. | Battery status only. Hour meter available as an upgrade | The Smart View display provides the information necessary for the most efficient use of the vehicle. The fault codes simplify trouble shooting. |
Programmable high-frequency charger | Standard programmable high-frequency charger. | On-board charger | Pack Mule’s charger provides temperature compensation and automatic cell equalization to extend battery life, lowing the life-cycle cost of the vehicle. |
Controller | State-of-the-art, fully sealed, tamper-proof programmable controller. | Programmable controller. | Both units have programmable controllers, but Pack Mules offers more functions, allowing you to set performance parameters exactly for your work environment. |
Construction | 14-gauge genuine diamond-plated steel body over a 7-gauge unibody frame. | Lighter-weight 16- gauge steel. | Pack Mule’s rugged construction lets it stand up to heavy-duty use. It’s built strong to carry heavy loads. |
Hitch Plate | Multi-position hitch plate | Single position hitch plate. No upgrade. | Multi-position hitch plate allows hitch height to be adjusted to meet the specific application. |
Warranty | Three-year Warranty | Two-year Warranty | Pack Mule’s confidence in its quality allowed it to introduce the industry’s first (and only) three-year warranty. Cushman has recently introduced their two-year warranty. |
