Although they cannot be used for indoor applications because of their exhaust emissions, diesel forklift trucks remain a mainstay of material handling equipment.

Although they cannot be used for indoor applications because of their exhaust emissions, diesel forklift trucks remain a mainstay of material handling equipment.

DESPITE THE fact that the rough surfaces and gradients often found in builders’ yards for example, are the perfect operating grounds for diesel forklifts, they still require maintenance, which is where Ecobat Battery can step in with its respected Numax brand.

The company’s industrial division has been replacing and servicing the batteries for electric forklifts for many years and has built an enviable reputation in this area.

However, while the need for replacement starter batteries in diesel forklifts is often overlooked, due to the broad range of business sectors that Ecobat Battery serves, batteries for these applications are equally available, alongside premium quality replacement products from brands including E-Drive, Rolls Battery, Sonnenschein and US Battery, as well as chargers from Fronius and SPE.

Popular diesel forklift truck engine manufacturers like Isuzu, Yanmar, Kubota, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Linde all use common battery types, and although different sizes, cranking capacity and amp hours are required, depending on the engine size and electrical loads, Numax has all the options covered.

With eight part numbers varying in case size and capacity from 36 to 95Ah, the Numax Premium range uses the latest calcium technology to meet the demanding requirements of these applications and provide a fully maintenance free solution that delivers reliability and durability, with exceptional performance.

In common with all battery applications, although good quality replacements are essential to ensure reliable performance and to avoid machine downtime, so is ongoing maintenance, another service that Ecobat Battery is able to fulfil.
