Hydrogen Fuel Forklifts Provide Maximum Performance
Hydrogen fuel cells for your forklifts are the most sustainable and highest performing motive power solution for your material handling operations on the market today. It’s the ultimate alternative fuel for lift trucks in high throughput manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers.
5 MINUTE REFILL
Hydrogen fuel cells refill in less than 5 minutes to deliver a full shift of capacity and productivity.
100% CONSISTENCY
Hydrogen fuel cells provide 100% consistent power output, regardless of the load, for maximum performance.
0 MAINTENANCE
Hydrogen fuel cells last the lifetime of the vehicle, with no battery watering, equalizing, or other maintenance.
0 EMISSIONS
Hydrogen fuel cells are the greenest technology on the market; their only exhaust is water.
Why Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Hydrogen fueled lift trucks maximize performance to keep your product moving without downtime. We’ll engineer a power package that is cashflow positive from the first month. Hydrogen fuel cells are quickly becoming an eco-friendly solution for replacing batteries and chargers in electric forklifts. Additional benefits include:
- Increased Uptime: Hydrogen fuel cells store energy 10x more densely than lithium-ion batteries and operate with 100% capacity.
- Refill In < 5 Minutes: Hydrogen forklifts refill in 3-5 minutes, run the entire shift, and have no battery droop, which means a 5% lift in productivity.
- No Maintenance: Hydrogen fuel cells require no watering, equalizing, or software updates and only minimal service every 3-5 years.
- Save Space: Hydrogen fuel cell technology doesn’t require dedicated battery fueling rooms or operators like lead acid batteries.
