Batteries

Will lithium-ion or hydrogen fuel cells someday replace lead-acid batteries in electric counterbalance lift trucks? Here are our predictions.

Find out why lithium-ion forklift batteries might not be ready to overtake their lead-acid counterparts in this comparison of the two technologies.

Lithium-ion forklift batteries don't work for most contemporary forklifts. Here's why lead-acid batteries still dominate the forklift industry.

Battery handling equipment from BHS covers everything federal regulators could throw at you. The safety of the equipment itself is protected, too.

You can divide forklift battery extractors into three basic categories, each configured for different lift truck designs and operational challenges.

With adequate staff training and the right forklift battery handling equipment, safety hazards of handling forklift batteries are easy to control.

Can your equipment provide quick forklift battery change-outs? If forklifts are queuing up for changes, that's a sign it's time to upgrade equipment.

Which forklift battery changer is right for your smaller forklift fleet? We'll help you choose the best battery handling equipment.

When mounting a battery handling device to a pallet truck for battery changing, the BHS ATC has various fork pocket and mounting options for the task.

Hydrogen is a hazardous byproduct of charging forklift batteries. A hydrogen gas detector and exhaust fan work together to keep hydrogen levels low.
