The material handling industry is constantly evolving to meet customer needs and demands. Here are two exciting developments in the material handling industry to be aware of before making your next forklift or warehouse equipment purchase: Lithium Ion and Energy Solution Consultants.  

New Battery Technology: Lithium-Ion 

The demand for battery-operated material handling equipment is not new. For years, warehouse, logistics, and food and beverage companies have been using battery-powered forklifts.   

Fast forward to today, and the buzz is all about lithium-ion battery-powered forklifts. Lithium-ion batteries charge faster, last longer, save more energy, and significantly decrease downtime. And, of course, any battery is better for the environment than a non-renewable energy source like gas. 

Toyota Material Handling led the charge to bring this new technology to the market. They were the first manufacturer to offer a UL-E and UL-EE-certified integration of lithium-ion batteries and forklifts. Last year, Toyota announced a new lineup of lithium-ion batteries in its 3- and 4-wheel electric sit-down models. 

Is a lithium-ion forklift battery worth the extra money? Will it work with your current equipment? Will you need special chargers? Read on to find out how to get answers to those questions.
