The energy needed to power a battery-powered lift truck is substantial. According to one estimate, the typical charger consumes approximately 15,000 kWh per year, resulting in a total utility cost of $1,500 annually. For a large facility with many lift trucks, the total cost can be very large, relative to other end-use equipment often targeted for energy efficiency improvements. Majority of industrial battery chargers in use today are conventional chargers, which have long been in existence and proven to be very reliable for high power applications. However, recent changes in chargers like HF chargers, the most recent entrant to the industrial battery charging market, have quickly gained a market foothold in recent years. As such, Bombay headquartered Mass-Tech Controls offers a total solution, right from battery sizing up to installation and commissioning & handing over the DC system as total package.
