Retrofits / Conversions

SDK Engineering specializes in the conversion and modernization of 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 service life
  Existing machines are given 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 substantially reduces environmental impact.

• Access to more projects
  Machines once again comply with current emission and safety standards.

• Retention of a familiar machine
  Operators continue working with a trusted machine, now with improved performance.

From Diesel to Electric or Hybrid

We perform 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 control systems

• Integration of modern software and monitoring systems

Each conversion starts with a thorough technical analysis. Based on this, we design a solution that fits the machine, its application, and your long-term strategy.

No two machines are the same. That is why SDK Engineering works with modular and expandable systems, such as scalable battery packs, flexible charging solutions, and intelligent control systems.

This approach enables you to:

• Expand power and capacity at a later stage

• Adapt systems to changing regulations

• Keep the machine future-proof over its entire lifecycle

SDK Engineering manages the entire process:

1. Analysis & consultancy

2. Engineering and system design

3. Installation and integration

4. Testing and commissioning

5. Instruction, training, and aftercare

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