Top companies like
Walmart and
Sysco have implemented fuel cell-powered forklifts in their warehouse facilities. Companies from almost
every industry, agricultural processing to grocery and retail, are investing in this new material handling technology which is saving them money and decreasing their carbon footprint. On average fuel cell-powered units can be refueled in as little as three minutes, and run up-to 12 hours verses traditional batteries that run for an average of only four hours. In the end, more time is spent on the floor moving products, and less time spent swapping batteries.
However, before you can start reaping the economical benefits of a fuel cell-powered forklift fleet, you have to connect with those in the business who can provide you with the technology and hear their success stories. And no place is better than
Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy 2011.
