Options. We like to have options. Hundreds of brands of toothpaste, shampoo, dish soap- every one pretty much the same, right?
There are plenty of options when it comes to batteries for your electric forklift as well. In fact, here in Atlantic Forklift Services home state of North Carolina, there are five major battery brands.
Before you ask, as with any vendor we work with, we make sure we match the best product for your forklift.
Battery pricing differs from battery to battery depending on the client’s needs. Each battery type will perform differently and is used in different circumstances.
A standard flat plate battery (similar to the battery you’d find in your car) will work in just about any low-demand application, where a “tubular plate” works best in high-demand or multiple-shift facilities. For rugged applications, such as outdoors, an HD flat plate is the best option.
If you ask us to recommend a battery system, we’ll take the same time and give you the same support our clients have come to expect from us each and every time. We’ll take stock of your facility, your needs and your battery-charging requirements- from opportunity charging to overnight and between-shift charging.
Naturally, battery-life and performance is also directly tied to your efforts to maintain and protect the battery. Correct charging procedures must be followed, and batteries must be properly watered and equalized regularly.
Consider us partners in your battery journey. We’ll help you find the right battery for your situation and you’ll promise to take care of the battery and together we’ll ensure your power cells have a long, productive life.
