Battery & Charger Planned Battery Maintenance Programs

If you're running a successful business, you know how important it is to pay attention to the details. You are not "running to failure," but instead have a systemized approach to making sure things are running properly so that downtime and emergencies are avoided. Our approach to battery and charger maintenance follows this model.

Benefits of using a planned maintenance approach power management include:

  • Optimizing performance and life of battery, charger, and the lift truck itself.
  • Systemized approach - ensures all critical elements of a thorough maintenance plan are being executed timely. If one element fails, there can be a domino effect. 
  • Manage manufacturer warranties.
  • Ensure OSHA and regulatory compliance.
  • Training for your team: operators and supervisors.
  • Inventory and asset management.
  • Capital and budgetary planning.

If you've purchased a battery and charger to be the fuel source for your forklift truck for the next five years or more, you'll likely need to know:

How much fuel did you buy? How long will the lifespan be? What should your expectations be? How will you know if you're getting your money's worth 

If you want to know the answers to questions like these, contact us today.
