Battery Solutions for Your Business
Increase your cashflow by updating or replacing
your lift truck batteries.
Develop more profitable and sustainable operations by upgrading your forklift lead acid batteries or adopting alternative fuel technologies like lithium-ion and hydrogen.
40%
Lifetime
Gain
TPPL batteries are designed for shallow state of charge and opportunity charging, offering 40% more cycles than other lead acid batteries.
2-4x
Charge
Rate
Lithium-ion batteries have 2-4 times the charge rate of lead acid batteries and can be charged almost anywhere at any time.
3,000
Charge
Cycles
Lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen-fuel cells last the service life of a forklift, handling more than 3,000 full charge cycles.
5
Minute
Refill
Hydrogen fuel cells provide the highest level of performance with less than 5-minutes of refill powering 6-8 hours of run time.
Our Advanced Power Solutions
Our goal at Alta Motive Power is to provide you with the industry’s best industrial motive power battery or fuel solutions, including lift truck lead acid, lithium-ion batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells. We start with a discovery process to determine which power source is right for you, then compare the benefits of different manufacturers. Our proprietary modeling software lets us engineer the right power solution for your unique needs. We help you reduce your total cost of ownership and increase your productivity and performance.
Compare Lead Acid To Other Power Sources
Lead acid batteries can be the most practical solution for facilities that need to upgrade the power package of their lift trucks, but not the charging stations and other infrastructure. They are also perfect in facilities that have the staffing and ability to do the required routine maintenance of watering and equalizing. To understand which power package is best for your needs, Alta Motive Power will use our proprietary modeling software to find the best solution the industry has to offer. See how lead acid batteries compare.
