Rapid charge

Hoppecke Industrial Batteries says that more and more companies operating forklift trucks are reaping benefits from using its rapid battery charging systems.

The technology is not new - Hoppecke has been supplying rapid charging solutions to a major UK automotive manufacturer with a large quantity of trucks for over eight years - but demand for the technology in the UK is now mushrooming as the country follows USA trends where the equipment is being adopted increasingly by forklift truck operating companies.

Rapid charging systems are suitable for those who need access to trucks 24 hours a day but don't use them continuously over that period.
