Lithium-ion Battery Solutions for Material Handling Equipment

Material handling equipment encompasses a wide range of vehicle types, typically used to move products in the manufacturing and distribution phases.

Class I: Electric Motor Rider Trucks
  • Counterbalanced Forklifts - These forklifts can handle a capacity of 8,000 lbs or more, making them essential when lifting heavy materials throughout a facility.

  • 3-Wheel Forklifts - Similar to counterbalanced forklifts, their 3-wheel design gives them a tighter turning radius, so they are a bit more nimble, at the expense of heavier lifting capacity.

Class II: Electric Narrow Aisle Trucks
  • Narrow Aisle Forklifts - Found in operations that want to maximize their storage space. This lift truck can operate in tighter spaces.

Class III: Electric Hand Trucks or Hand/Rider Trucks
  • End Riders / Center Riders - Minimal lift capabilities (i.e. lifting a pallet off the ground) used to transport materials throughout a facility.

  • Walkie Pallet Jacks - Designed to move loads up to 8,000 lbs. They are commonly found in delivery trucks for efficient loading and unloading of materials.

“We like the minimal downtime. We like the extended life. We have drivers doing up to 3 truckloads, and previously, we’d have to send them a separate jack for the driver to be able to finish his day. Currently with the Flux Power batteries on board – the charge just goes forever and he can finish his shift on just one charge. That’s one of the main reasons we like Flux Power.”
