Avoids manual handling October 1st 2005 Link Logistics has installed EnerSys’s Hawker Evolution batteries with high frequency chargers for the lift truck fleet at a distribution warehouse operated on behalf of Farmfoods.
The Evolution battery is maintenance-free and has zero emissions. Hawker has also supplied a battery management system and a battery handling system to speed changing and eliminate manual handling.
For changing order picker and pallet transporter batteries, Hawker supplied a transfer cart with a roller bed, enabling batteries to be smoothly rolled on and off the charger stations (also with rollers), requiring minimal manual effort. For reach truck batteries Link Logistics uses Hawker’s Pro- Series Tugger, a system based on an easily manoeuvred powered pallet transporter that uses a magnetic ram to extract the battery from the truck and transfer it to the charging station, and vice versa.
