Narrow-gauge industrial locomotives
made by Clayton Equipment and
powered by Hawker batteries from
EnerSys were the centre of attention
when His Royal Highness Prince
Andrew, Duke of York, visited the
Clayton factory in Burton-on-Trent.

Clayton Equipment has specified
Hawker batteries as standard since
2007. A recent project was to provide
14 and 20t narrow gauge maintenance
locomotives to Costain for working
in tunnels beneath London. These
are powered by 200V batteries from
the Hawker Perfect Plus range with
1240A/h and 750A/h capacities. They
offer a high level of power, long
running times and reliability.
