Charging Forklift
Batteries the New-Fashioned Way
Did you know… that you can charge multiple car batteries safely and
simultaneously, without ever having to set foot inside a battery room? With
PosiCharge battery systems, you can also accomplish in just 15 to 30
minutes, giving your truck the boost it needs to continue on with its
mission for another shift. Ever since PosiCharge systems entered the
transportation industry several years ago, they have single-handedly helped
companies save time and money through their steady efficiency and
resourcefulness.
As more companies are exposed to PosiCharging’s valuable qualities, its
makers are able to continue assuring that this product is “a safe fast
charging technology that enables you to run your trucks on one battery all
day with a quick charge during breaks and shift changes. That means you can
eliminate the need for battery changing and everything that goes with it: a
battery room, extra batteries, and changing. Plus, you can increase
productive work time by cutting out time-wasting trips to the battery room
and extra maintenance on battery inventories. These savings can translate to
as much as 40% over battery changing.” So, “If your company is changing
batteries in order to meet demand in a two or three-shift operation,
PosiCharging can help you save money and time.” And with statistics and
characteristics like that, who can afford NOT to make the switch?
Certainly not the executives at Del Monte Foods, who have been more than
satisfied with PosiCharging their trucks years ago. As Glen A. Lewis,
former director of energy and indirect procurement for Del Monte Foods
confirms, “a key savings is in eliminating battery changes. Our time studies
indicated it takes 15-20 minutes to change a battery. Over three shifts,
that’s almost an hour of lost productivity per day, per truck. There are
several thousand forklifts at Del Monte. The potential to reduce the size of
the fleet or realize incremental shipping advantages is significant.”
AeroVironment Inc., the manufacturers of this product, also reveal that “for
nearly a decade, our industrial vehicle Fast Chargers, Battery and Charging
Accessories, and Installation Solutions have been helping the world's most
productive corporations eliminate battery changing and dramatically increase
throughput.” They, too, provide that “PosiCharge leads the fast charge
revolution with its full line of fast charging systems that replace the
battery room with intelligent, in-vehicle custom charging during scheduled
breaks and shift changes - increasing run time to 100% of the productive
work day.”
