Retrofits / conversions

Retrofit / conversion

SDK Engineering specializes in converting and modernizing existing machines. We bring your machine fully up-to-date technically, operationally, and legally, without the need for complete replacement.

Why choose a retrofit?

• Extended lifespan
  Existing machines get a second life and remain operational for many years.
• Cost control
  A retrofit is significantly more cost-effective than purchasing a new machine.
• Sustainability
  Reusing existing machines greatly reduces environmental impact.
• Access to more projects
  Machines once again comply with current emission and safety standards.
• Retention of familiar machine
  The operator continues to work with a familiar machine, with improved performance.

From diesel to electric or hybrid

We carry out retrofits at various levels, including:

• Full electrification (100% electric, 0% emissions)

• Hybrid solutions with range extender

• Replacement or modernization of drivetrains

• Upgrades of electrical installations and controls

• Integration of modern software and monitoring

Every conversion starts with a thorough technical analysis. Based on this, we design a solution that fits the machine, its use, and future plans.

No machine is the same. That’s why SDK Engineering works with modular and expandable systems. Think of scalable battery packs, flexible charging solutions, and intelligent controls.

This approach makes it possible to:

• Expand power and capacity at a later stage

• Adapt systems to changing regulations

• Keep the machine future-proof

SDK Engineering takes care of the entire process:

1. Analysis & advice

2. Engineering and system design

3. Installation and integration 

4. Testing and commissioning

5. Explanation, training, and aftercare

Even after delivery, we remain involved for support, maintenance, and further development.
