Handling applications.
Advantages of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen for Forklift / Materials Handling
- Performance
- Increased productivity
- No degradation of power over time
- Constant efficiency even at partial loads
- Reduced downtime
- Fuel cells are more efficient at converting fuels to energy
than diesel engines
- Operation
- One person can be trained in a matter of hours to refuel the
truck reducing the need for an additional operator
- The required
infrastructure requires significantly less footprint
- Refuelling is considerably quicker than the battery charging
process
- Fuel cell systems are designed to be interchangeable with battery
packs
- Additional
refuelling points can be installed to reduce the distance travelled
to refuel and the associated downtime.
- Environmental
- Using renewable
hydrogen there are no direct harmful emissions - CO2, NOx, SOx
or particulates
- Only emits water vapour
- Very quite operation
