Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, Ohio, introduced V-Force Lithium-Ion Energy Storage System (ESS) for a majority of its line of electric forklifts.
The V-Force Lithium-Ion ESS is fully integrated with the truck for flexibility, scalability and convenience. The integration allows the truck’s display to show battery discharge levels and alerts operators through an early warning system before truck operation stops. In addition to the lithium-ion technology, the system includes a modular V-Force charger, as well as a battery management system that extends battery life by preventing operation outside of warranted conditions.
