Question:

Does it meet weight requirements related to the lifting capacity of my equipment?

Answer:

Yes, it will meet any weight requirements. Though lithium batteries are much lighter than lead acid batteries, ballast is added to ensure the proper weight distribution for maximum, reliable lifting capacity for all of your equipment.

Question:

How long will it take before the higher cost of my lithium battery starts paying for itself in savings?

Answer:

In most cases, savings kick in as quickly as 10-14 months.

Question:

Is it possible to convert my existing fleet to lithium battery power source, or do I have to wait until it’s time to purchase new equipment?

Answer:
The decision is completely up to you. Electric fork trucks from any manufacturer can be converted from lead acid to lithium battery power. The bigger your fleet, the bigger your potential savings.

Lithium ion batteries have long been used to power such personal electronics devices as phones, tablets and laptops, as well as hearing aids and even pacemakers — and now the technology is making a major impact in the materials handling industry.

So if your business involves using forklifts and other materials handling equipment, and you want to operate as efficiently as possible, lithium ion is definitely something to keep your eye on.
