Safer, more economical battery regime
June 1st 2006

Wincanton has switched to the EnerSys Hawker brand of batteries for the entire lift truck fleet at its national chilled distribution centre (NDC) in Gloucester.

Wincanton changed suppliers because of the superior quality of service offered by Hawker, and the company's ability to supply and maintain batteries, plus ancillary systems and equipment, at a fixed cost over a five year period, with no 'hidden extras'. The fullypowered battery changing system that Hawker has also installed is much less labourintensive, and significantly safer, than the previous manual handling operation.

The new regime, which includes a 'smart' battery management system, offers extended battery life and increased productivity.

Hawker has supplied two PerfectPlus high performance batteries for each of the 20 electric trucks. The charging areas are equipped with Hawker's Powertech high frequency (HF) chargers.
