* Signifies an Existing Model in our Full Line of Lithium-ion Material Handling Equipment
These new models have a lower center of gravity because they were designed around the lithium-ion battery packs. This allows them to be more stable and safer. Our lithium-ion technology also provides the equipment with several key benefits.
These key benefits include:
- Safest Lithium-ion Battery Chemistry thanks to the Lithium Iron Phosphate chemical makeup of the battery packs.
- Opportunity Charging that allows the equipment to run in multi-shift operations.
- Rapid Charging that allows the equipment to be charged in as little as two hours.
- Maintenance Free Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Packs
- Low Total Cost of Ownership
- More Energy Efficient/Higher Energy Density than comparable Lead-Acid powered equipment
- Longer Run Times
- Environmentally Friendly thanks to the batteries not using acid and the drivetrain not releasing harmful fumes.
In addition to these benefits, the new equipment features up to a 10 year or 20,000 hour warranty depending on the specific model.
