Clean & quiet
January 1st 2012 According to Peter Atack, product &
technical manager of complete
power solutions provider, GNB
Industrial Power, when it comes to
powering warehouse vehicle fleets,
battery power dominates the market
and this is likely to continue for the
foreseeable future.
"Recent advancements in
technology mean batteries are now
offering larger capacities and
increased operating times," says
Atack. "Any advantages that fossil
fuels had in terms of operational
benefits are rapidly being eroded and
are more than outweighed by other
financial and environmental benefits
of batteries.
"The lack of polluting and
contaminating fumes, considerably
lower noise outputs, and minimum
vibration means a safer and more
pleasant working environment for
both driver and other staff."
He continues: "Battery Management
Systems, such as GNB's
2100.net, ensure that a fully charged
battery is always available and users
are able to use the computer systems
to assess the state of their batteries.
This ensures maximum performance
from the battery as well as an
optimum product life." More articles from GNB Industrial Power: |
