Co-operative Food Retail Logistics
called on EnerSys to help optimise
space at its new distribution centre in
County Durham, by minimising the
area required for charging warehouse
truck batteries. The solution was to
build a three-tier battery bank - with
potential to go even higher - served
by an electric-powered changing cart,
believed to be the first of its type in
the EU to work without hydraulics.
The innovative installation forms part of an advanced battery management system to meet Cooperative Food Retails Logistics' key objectives of best practice and sustainability. Sophisticated charging and allocation procedures, as well as remote diagnostic facilities, ensure optimum performance over an extensive projected working life for the batteries and warehouse trucks.
