Consider the Fast Charge Option
There is an old rule of thumb regarding recharging forklift batteries. It goes something like: use a battery for 8 hours, charge it for 8 hours and then lastly, allow it to cool for 8 hours. This formula has changed for numerous work operations which run more than one 8 hour shift. The fast charging option has become an extremely common alternative to traditional charging and ever since its evolution; many businesses have opted to make the switch.
What Are the Benefits of Fast Charging?
Less Charging Time
Where the standard charger and battery was concerned, re-energizing a battery from a 20% state of charge up to a complete one hundred percent charge used to take about 8 hours. Fast charging can now accomplish this same charging in around an hour to an hour and a half! Many businesses use scheduled break and lunch times to complete this vital task.
Easier Refills
Frequently, fast charge batteries also require a single-point watering system. This system means that users do not need to remove the battery from the forklift to be able to water it.
Temperature-Sensitive Design
These new fast charge batteries have a thermistor placed near the center cell so as to monitor temperature. When the temperature gets to a particular level, the charge rate is reduced and occasionally even stopped in order to make sure the battery does not overheat. This process can unfortunately lead to an undercharged battery. There are several specific fast charge battery brands that use inter-cell connectors, extra thick posts and copper inserts so as to increase conductivity and reduce heat generation because of the higher current. These features help to allow the battery to accept a higher charge rate for a longer time period.
The overall productivity of these machines has been greatly better since the invention of the fast charge battery system. In the past, businesses used to need more than one equipment when they were operating around the clock; nowadays they could utilize one forklift twice as much in a day and save much money by utilizing the fast charging batteries.

The slip sheet attachments use a push and pull mechanism which clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls the cargo onto a thin platform. Afterwards, the load is pushed off the platform when the truck reaches the destination.
Drum attachments are available in numerous sizes and shapes, with several models able to handle 55 gallon drums. There are several smaller types of a paper roll clamps that go around the roll and also could rotate a full 360\three hundred sixty degrees.
