You operate a warehouse or a factory that relies on electric power equipment to move your product or inventory around your facility and onto a truck for delivery. To maintain your fleet of power equipment, you need charging stations to keep the wheels turning.
Installation of a forklift charging station requires practical skills and the expertise of a commercial electrician. At Integrity Electricians, we are your charging station installation specialists. Our previous work in this area is a testament to our skill and ability to keep your fleet mobile and fully charged.
It Starts With The Right Choice
Selecting a forklift battery charger – the right one for your fleet – is determined by the needs of your fleet and the type of work your fleet will perform. There are several factors to consider when selecting a charging unit, which is as important as the equipment they will charge.
- What type of batteries powers your fleet?
- What is the battery voltage?
- What is the charging duration?
- What are the charging specs?
- What is the work the forklift will perform?
- How will electrical infrastructure support the chargers?
- Do you need to upgrade electrical equipment to meet the power needs of the chargers?
- How much space does the charger need?
As your commercial charger installer, we at Integrity Electricians can’t answer all the questions. Still, we can provide our professional advice concerning your electrical infrastructure and whether an upgrade to your system may be required.
Charging time is the life’s blood for your fleet, and it is essential to know when selecting a charger for us to install. Remember that different batteries require a different charger to be installed, so we need to understand your goals before we start a forklift charger installation.
Forklift Chargers, The Types We Install
-
Conventional Chargers
When you install a conventional charger, you remove the battery and place it on the charging unit. This type of charging system is for lead acid batteries, and it takes 16 hours to charge and cool down. The battery will provide eight hours of life.
-
Quick Charging
If lithium-ion-powered batteries power your fleet, this could be the solution you seek. If your equipment has high usage in a multiple-application environment, a quick charge that takes approximately 30 minutes reduces equipment downtime. A quick charging station may require some changes to accommodate the increase in amps needed to provide the charge, and we can facilitate any upgrades required.
-
Technology And Opportunity Charging
Lithium battery technology has lent itself to opportunity charging, and we can install the charger you need to charge your fleet at will. Using an opportunity forklift charger is designed to help businesses that run in a 24/7 environment to keep productivity moving. We at Integrity Electricians can open that gateway with the correct charging system installation that frees your organization from downtime.
Your Needs, Our Mission
We can provide expert advice on the installation and electricity requirements for any forklift battery charger you need to keep your business running at optimal output. If you upgrade your equipment from lead batteries to lithium, you must upgrade your battery chargers in conjunction with your equipment needs.
