Forklift Trucks

Managers of large distribution and manufacturing facilities are beginning to convert their forklift tuck fleets to fuel cell power.

Linde is the supplier of choice for hydrogen fueling solutions for fork lift truck fleets. Managers of large distribution and manufacturing facilities are beginning to convert their forklift tuck fleets to fuel cell power to enjoy the following benefits:

Improved productivity: While battery-powered lift trucks lose approximately 14% of their speed over the last half of the battery charge, fuel cell power units maintain constant power at all times. This keeps vehicles running at full speed the entire shift.
No need to change, charge and manage lead-acid batteries: Hydrogen cells can be fuelled in a few minutes, substantially reducing downtime.
Ease of use: Operators at trial sites have said fuel cells "feel like a fully charged battery at all times." This increases driving ease, handling and productivity, and operators can refuel units themselves in 60 sec.
More commercial space: Small fueling stations replace battery-charging rooms, freeing up valuable warehouse space.
Zero emissions: Safe, clean and efficient fuel cells produce zero harmful emissions. They eliminate costs associated with handling toxic materials.
Transparent transition: Fuel cell power units fit seamlessly into the space occupied by batteries, making it a simple and cost-effective solution for customers to adopt.

Field-tested and proven at customer sites across North America, Linde has demonstrated these key benefits with some of the world’s largest material handling operations, including a Wal-Mart distribution center in Ohio and Sysco distribution centers in Michigan.
