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. Register now for this great networking and business development event, benefiting end users like you.

Many have already started benefiting from this technology such as Whole Foods Market who saves approximately 3750 per year per fuel cell-powered forklift and Martin-Brower who will payback their investment in less than 11 months. United Natural Foods has found the fuel cell-powered forklifts can withstand multiple shifts in the colder temperatures of the facility's freezer, cooler and dry storage areas.

Beyond saving man hours, Coca-Cola is adding on to the fuel cell-powered forklift fleet at their bottling plant in San Leandro, CA. specifically for the technology's improved space utilization.

The best opportunity to witness this new, cost/labor saving technology at the upcoming Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy 2011, February 13-16, 2011 in the Washington, DC area. There, businesses will come together to show you first-hand how many major processors and retailers are taking advantage of hydrogen fuel cell forklift technology. With over 90 exhibitors, representatives from over 100 different companies and 4 days of educational programming, you will gain the knowledge and connections needed to start benefiting from this technology.
