LITHIUM ION IN WAREHOUSE MATERIALS HANDLING (NOT COUNTERBALANCE)LITHIUM ION IN WAREHOUSE MATERIALS HANDLING (NOT COUNTERBALANCE)
Advantages
Ability to opportunity charge quickly without detriment to life can allow multi shift operation without battery exchange
Cleanliness - Solid state and gas free when charging. Maintenance free.
More compact and lighter – beneficial in some cases (not Counterbalance)
Disadvantages
Battery cost – reducing but 4-6 X Lead Acid battery cost
Infrastructure and charger cost - installation at the workstation or lunch room may not be possible and can be expensive
Special transport and storage and disposal requirements

WHERE IS LITHIUM ION 2017WHERE IS LITHIUM ION 2017
Much interest, spurred on by journals and shows - limited sales, (less than 1% take-up), but at least doubling annually
Growing particularly in ‘clean’ industries– food etc where current technologies have limited performance.
Most likely to be justifiable in intensive applications using multiple lead acid batteries or LPG forklifts, and ‘new builds’ where chargers can be incorporated and installed from the start, or where space in battery room is needed for other uses.
Freestanding batteries installed by suppliers and dealers being superseded by OEM installed ‘integrated’ battery from the factory to gain:
Battery charge level gauge and ‘lift lock out’ functionalityControlled depower of machine in event of battery shut downDiagnostics and certification

SPECIFYING LI ION EQUIPMENT TO SATISFY AN APPLICATION REQUIRES ANALYSIS AND MODELLING
SPECIFYING LI ION EQUIPMENT TO SATISFY AN APPLICATION REQUIRES ANALYSIS AND MODELLING
Inputs
Application data provided by the customer particularly energy used in the application, measured or estimated.
Suitability for Li Ion based on application severity and shift and break patterns
Allows optimal size of Li Ion Battery and Charger to be selected
Total cost of ownership and payback for Lithium Ion v Lead Acid batteries
Modelling capability – allows calculation of how much charging during the shift would allow an application to move to Li ion.

ELECTRIFICATION OF COUNTERBALANCE FORKLIFTS (WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT LPG?)ELECTRIFICATION OF COUNTERBALANCE FORKLIFTS (WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT LPG?)
THE GAS BOTTLE
Cheap and tough 10 year life with no loss of performanceClean – cannot spill. Can operate -20C to +40CNo weekly ‘equalisation charge’ No battery room, eyebath requiredExchanged or filled by operator in a few minutes without any equipment

As Electric Counterbalanced Lift Trucks Get Larger, they are less suited to intensiveuse , due to limitations of Energy Needed v Energy on Board.Currently available ER cannot match productivity of Large LPG/Diesel

ADVANTAGES OF LI ION AT THIS SIZEADVANTAGES OF LI ION AT THIS SIZE
Lead Acid Batterybecomes less efficient
as it heats up
Lower efficiencyCauses Lead Acid Battery to heat up
At higher power outputs lead acid batteries become less efficient
Charging also generates heat – lead acid batteries need to cool before reuse.
3X lead acid batteries may be needed and exchange of batteries this size (typically 2000kg+) is difficult and time consuming
Peukert’s lawImpacts lead acid battery efficiency inintensive applications
