All charged up and ready
April 1st 2008

The battery charge and change area at Halford's Redditch national distribution centre, used to park and charge up to 70 pieces of materials handling equipment overnight, has been reduced by over 75% after the introduction of EnerSys Motive Power equipment, reports Enersys Hawker.

Enersys and Halfords worked together to design a new space saving area by arranging battery positions close together along both sides of a narrow aisle with their respective chargers mounted overhead. The 'intelligent' diagnostic capabilities of power sources ensure strict battery rotation, so the most charged unit is always used.

The batteries are handled by Enersys' Hawker ProSeries BBH semi-automated change cart which eliminates manual handling. Computerised management requires fewer batteries and Halfords' truck fleet now operates with 1.7 batteries per truck.
