The new BACKHUS ALPHA 55 offers you tried-and-tested concepts combined with state-of-the-art technology. The machine is not only fully electric and therefore emission-free in operation, but also fully automated. This opens up completely new possibilities for process optimisation. For example, the driverless machine is ideal for sensitive applications. Electrification also brings many advantages, from reduced operating effort to less maintenance. You therefore benefit from a noticeable reduction in OPEX.

Fully Automated Turning
Our BACKHUS have always been self-propelled and did not require a tractor – the new BACKHUS ALPHA 55 marks the beginning of the self-propelled as well as self-drivingwindrow turners.
Automated Functions
Windrow Recognition
- The BACKHUS ALPHA 55 finds the beginning of the windrow without any help and starts to turn it
Windrow Turning
- The windrow turning is also fully automated
Windrow Straightening
- Has your windrow accidentally become crooked and lopsided when it is set up with the wheel loader? No problem – the BACKHUS ALPHA 55 straightens your windrow all by itself while turning it
Windrow Change
- After turning a windrow, the machine turns automatically and finds the beginning of the next windrow automatically.
Features
High-Voltage Technology
- Short charging times
- High daily output
- Maximum energy utilisation
Selectable Battery Capacity
- The size and performance of the battery can be customised to your requirements – giving you the best possible price-performance ratio
Volume Evaluation
- The BACKHUS ALPHA 55 uses its sensors not only for automated movement, but also to scan the windrow volume. This provides you with detailed information about the material amount on your site and allows you to track exactly how the volume changes, for example due to biodegradation.
Innovative Lighting Concept
- Optimum visibility of the machine thanks to long-lasting LED strips around the machine body
- Visual signals: LED strips light up during operation and turn red in the event of disturbance
Remote Control
Would you like to take manual control of your new BACKHUS ALPHA 55? This is easily possible using the radio remote control. The machine no longer has a driver cabin.
Hydraulic Rear Flap
- Reduces the windrow offset at the start of the turning process
→ Better space management
Versatile Rotor Properties
- While turning, the BACKHUS ALPHA 55 adjusts the speed of the rotor continuously. In addition, the rotor is reversed as required and its height is adjusted independently of the frame.
Maintenance Platforms
- The integrated platforms make maintenance easier. You can fold out a ladder once the hoods are opened and you have free access to all components.
Fold-Out Track Clearers
- Hydraulic with automatic ground contour adjustment
→ Better traction
Options
Concentrate Spraying System
- With a concentrate spraying system, the BACKHUS ALPHA 55 can inoculate the material in a targeted manner during transport and thus accelerate the composting process, for example.
Irrigation System
- Together with the automatically winding and unwinding BACKHUS HD hose reel, the BACKHUS ALPHA 55 can water the material itself while turning it.
XL Track Clearer
- The maximum windrow width can be increased by 0.3 m using an XL track clearer. This enables optimum space utilisation.
Housing
- The safety and dust protection curtain significantly reduces the emissions that occur during handling – especially dust formation and uncontrolled material ejection are significantly reduced.
