Crown Equipment Unveils Integrated Lithium-Ion Energy Storage System for Forklifts

March 19, 2019
No Comments

NEW BREMEN, Ohio (March 19, 2019) - Crown Equipment Corporation, one of the world's largest material handling companies, today introduced the V-Force Lithium-Ion Energy Storage System (ESS) for forklift users considering alternative energy sources to achieve lower operational costs and enhance productivity and efficiency. Initially available for the Crown WP Series pallet truck, the V-Force Lithium-Ion ESS will be available for Crown's complete line of forklifts in 2019.

The components of the V-Force Lithium-Ion ESS include a UL Listed lithium-ion battery pack, a compatible V-Force UL Listed charger and a fully integrated battery management system to extend battery life by preventing operation outside of warrantied conditions. Using the truck display, the system shows battery discharge levels and alerts the operator through an early warning system before truck operation is stopped.

Lithium-ion batteries can be opportunity charged during operator breaks without adversely affecting battery life, which can contribute to longer run times and remove the need for battery changing. They do not emit gas during charging and do not require special battery rooms. Lithium-ion batteries are also maintenance free, which eliminates the need for battery watering. All V-Force Lithium-Ion Energy Storage Systems will be sold and supported by Crown's extensive global retail network as part of Crown's complete material handling solutions.
