 AT A GLANCE

Flux Power lithium ion forklift batteries for agriculture power the Class I, II, and III forklifts, pallet jacks, and automated guided vehicles that move product and parts through packhouses, agricultural processing plants, and farm equipment parts warehouses. The LiFePO4 batteries opportunity charge during breaks to keep pace with harvest peaks, require no watering, operate from -22°F to 131°F, and produce zero tailpipe emissions. SkyEMS adds real-time monitoring of battery health and usage across shifts, seasons, and sites. 

Powering Agriculture From Harvest to Shipment

Flux Power lithium-ion energy solutions help agricultural producers, packers, processors, and equipment supply chains keep material handling equipment available when the season demands it, simplify energy management, and gain greater control over fleet performance and operating costs. 

Stay Ready for Harvest Peaks

Opportunity charge between loads and at shift change so one battery per truck can keep up when volume surges. 

Keep Exhaust Out of Packing Areas

Electric forklifts produce zero tailpipe emissions, so they add no combustion exhaust to enclosed packing, processing, and cold rooms. 

Power People and Automation Together

Run forklifts, pallet jacks, and AGVs and AMRs on one lithium-ion energy strategy, from the packing line to the shipping dock. 

 

Lower Total Operating Costs

Reduce propane purchases and eliminate watering, battery rooms, and the labor associated with battery changes. 

Solve the Operational Challenges That Slow Agricultural Operations Down

Agricultural operations work against compressed harvest windows, perishable product, seasonal labor shortages, and heavy, bulky equipment components that cannot wait on a dead battery. Flux Power lithium-ion solutions help operators keep product moving from receiving to shipping, support growing warehouse automation, and control the cost of powering their fleets through every season. 

 Keep Up When the Harvest Comes In 

 When the harvest arrives, receiving docks, packing lines, and storage run long hours and often around the clock for weeks at a time. A forklift pulled for a battery change or a propane tank swap leaves bins waiting and product aging on the dock. Flux Power lithium-ion batteries stay in the truck and charge during natural pauses, helping equipment stay available through every peak season shift. 

  • Opportunity charge during breaks, between loads, and at shift change.

  • Reduce dependence on spare batteries, battery-changing equipment, and propane storage. 

  • Maintain consistent lift and travel speed through the full shift.

  • Use connected battery data to prepare the fleet before the season starts. 

 
Plan for Your Peak Season

 CASE RESULTS

How a Food and Beverage Company Improved Forklift Uptime with Lithium-Ion

Bob-Hollandia-pallet-jack

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Problem

Hollandia Dairy’s lead-acid batteries struggled to last a full shift, sometimes providing only 6 hours of production. Battery limitations caused equipment downtime, jack swapping, and disruptions between day and night shifts.

Solution

Hollandia Dairy switched its pallet jacks to Flux Power lithium-ion batteries, providing longer runtimes, onboard charging, and a seamless fit without extensive equipment modifications.

Result

Pallet jacks now run 8 to 12 hours, allowing operators to use assigned equipment for an entire shift. Hollandia Dairy increased productivity and efficiency, eliminated downtime and swapping, and cycled out 10 older jacks. 

 

“Longer run times. We’re more productive. No more issues with equipment going down.”

Agricultural Lithium-Ion Battery FAQs

Accordion Icon Are lithium-ion forklift batteries a good fit for agricultural operations?
Yes. Packhouses, agricultural processing plants, and farm equipment parts warehouses run long hours during peak season, which favors batteries that stay in the truck and charge during breaks. Flux Power lithium ion batteries eliminate watering, reduce battery changes, and deliver consistent power through every shift. 
Accordion Icon Why use electric forklifts in packing and processing areas?
Electric forklifts produce zero tailpipe emissions, so they add no combustion exhaust to enclosed packing, processing, and cold storage rooms. Flux Power lithium-ion batteries are sealed and require no watering or acid handling, which removes the need for a battery room near product. 
Accordion Icon Can lithium ion forklift batteries keep up during harvest season?
 Yes. Flux Power lithium-ion batteries are designed for opportunity charging during breaks and shift changes, so one battery per truck can often support extended peak season schedules.
Accordion Icon Do lithium ion forklift batteries work in cold rooms and hot yards?
Flux Power X-Series batteries are rated to operate from -22°F to 131°F (-30°C to 55°C) and include integrated heaters and precision cooling. They are sealed and require no watering. 
Accordion Icon Can Flux Power batteries power AGVs and AMRs in agricultural warehouses?
 Yes. Flux Power C-Series lithium ion batteries are designed for automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots. They support opportunity charging during idle time, so automated equipment can keep moving pallets between packing, storage, and shipping without battery swaps 
Accordion Icon Are Flux Power batteries safe?
Flux Power batteries for material handling use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, are UL 2580 listed, and are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility. They are sealed and require no watering or acid handling.
