Battery package for less maintenance
The Hawker Premier lift truck battery package from EnerSys provides reduced maintenance for all kinds of applications, including heavy-duty and cold store operations.
Hawker claims this is the first time that heavy-duty lift truck operations are able to benefit from batteries that require so little maintenance. The Premier package reduces maintenance costs and increases truck availability. It provides battery topping-up intervals of up to 65 cycles, which equates to as long as three months in single shift operations, combined with substantial recharge energy savings. With the automatic topping-up system that is available as an optional extra, the batteries become virtually self-maintaining.
The package comprises batteries, high-frequency chargers and the Easyplus - a battery-mounted device that commnicates witht the charger.
