First up is PosiCharge, a new system designed for rapid battery charging that eliminates the need for spare batteries in busy warehouse operations.

PosiCharge Battery Charging System

Imagine working your forktrucks around the clock with only one battery. Well that’s the promise held out by PosiCharge, a system which delivers short, precise power charges to the battery while it is still in the truck during breaks, lunch and shift changes. The control software controls that the optimal charging levels are maintained by monitoring temperature and regulating each charge.

Eliminating the need for battery changing results in time saving and reduced operating and maintenance costs, improvements in safety, throughput and space utilisation. Time savings of 25 miutes per shift per driver have been achieved in some cases. Furthermore, spare batteries and battery changing rigs are unnecessary resulting in reduced capital outlay.
