Material Handling
Industry challenges
Batteries for material handling equipment are expensive assets. Proactively maintaining these assets is critical to maximise their value. Operating environments and chaotic shift schedules compel forklift operators into improper charging and maintenance protocols, resulting in the premature end of life of the batteries.
Afribat’s ProActive Maintenance Service reconditions these batteries and returns them to service for as little as 25% of the cost of new – delivering increased RUNTIME and RELIABILITY to your battery environment, plus, we will…
- reduce your revenue spend
- extend the lifespan of your batteries
- reduce your risk exposure
Real world statistics and research tell us…
- 70% to 80% of lead acid batteries fail due to the build up of lead sulfate crystals (PbSO4) on the internal plates.
- When a battery reaches 80% of its rated capacity, the aging process accelerates.
- Load testing is time consuming, damaging and does not identify individual battery SoH.
- Manufacturing, storage, transportation, installation and environmental anomalies negatively impact a battery’s performance and lifespan.
- Brand and revenue risks associated with battery failure – which can be extensive – are rarely calculated or considered.
- Reactive maintenance costs are high.
Afribat delivers the ability to…
- Know the SoH of each and every battery in your standby power ecosystem.
- Identify vulnerable batteries early in their lifecycle.
- Ensure the capacity and stability of your standby power ecosystem.
- Extend battery lifespan and reduce unnecessary costs associated with premature replacement.
- Reduce unnecessary risk associated with battery failure.
