Material Handling: Selecting Battery Chemistry and Storage Capacity
This is the sixth in a series of blogs discussing factors to consider when…
Read MoreLift trucks operate in some of the most challenging environments. From predominantly using lead-acid batteries, a transition is underway to lithium battery-powered lift trucks. Below are several trends driving this transition.
Online shopping is increasing demands in productivity from every area in the warehouse, requiring low lifters, pallet stackers, reach trucks, and heavy trucks to operate on a higher duty cycle.
Lower acquisition costs and benefits in energy capacity, charge times, efficiency and operator safety are tipping the scales towards lithium energy storage solutions and creating opportunities to meet duty cycle demands.
Warehouse and rental companies’ operational demands are driving a trend towards on-board charging for Class I counterbalanced lift trucks. Higher energy density lithium batteries coupled with on-board charging provide greater efficiency and make rental fleets easier to manage and deploy.
Incorporating the right battery charging solutions for individual lift trucks or fleet operations is an important design consideration. Returning energy to batteries in a safe, appropriate, and efficient way requires a deep understanding of how batteries react to charge and discharge, which Delta-Q has.
Our charging solutions are designed to withstand high levels of vibration, shock, temperature changes (including cold storage) experienced by lift trucks. They are built for long service lives in these environments, and provide battery performance and longevity with custom-made charge profiles for the major battery companies. Whether you’re looking for a charging solution that is on-board, off-board or a combination of the two, we have you covered!
