Hydrogen Fuel Cells Power
the Future of Lift Trucks

Today, it seems like everyone is buzzing about alternative and renewable energy sources, and the materials handling industry is no different. Research is helping the industry lead the way in developing new energy options, the most promising of which is the implementation of hydrogen fuel cells in electric lift trucks.

Hydrogen is a readily available industrial gas, but special equipment is required to compress the gas to the pressure needed to fuel lift trucks, and a hydrogen dispenser is needed to refuel the lift trucks.

Tubular Industrial Batteries:
The Right Choice for Fast Charging

Fast charging industrial motive power batteries has revolutionized the way electric lift truck fleets are managed. Valuable warehouse space and personnel no longer need to be dedicated to battery rooms with spare battery storage, battery handling and changing equipment. Lift truck operators do not need to travel from their work area to the battery room to change out batteries, saving thousands of dollars in lost productivity. No longer are batteries weighing thousands of pounds hoisted in and out of lift trucks, reducing the potential for employee injuries.

Improvements in the Performance and
Life Characteristics of Deep Cycle Batteries

Deep cycle batteries used in golf cars, utility vehicles, plant maintenance equipment, and myriads of other light to medium duty, battery-powered material handling and personal mobility vehicles have recently undergone significant improvements in their performance and life.
