High capacity and long range
Forklifts and pallet trucks run long shifts, so the capacity plan is derived from your shift pattern and work intensity.
Logistics and material handling battery packs: forklifts and pallet trucks
Electric forklifts, stackers and pallet trucks run long shifts, and every minute spent charging is a minute not moving goods. High capacity, high rate and a quick-change structure are the three threads.
Requirements
What this application demands of the pack
These are the electrical and mechanical points that matter in this application.
High rate and fast charging
Heavy lifting and acceleration draw high current, and charging windows are short, so the charging strategy and rate requirement are settled together.
Quick-change structure and safety
Multi-shift rotation needs a quick-change structure, and the protection strategy and connection reliability are settled at the design stage.

Checklist
What we need from you
Give us these and while meeting your performance needs we pick the most cost-effective option for you.
| Item | What to tell us |
|---|---|
| Equipment type and tonnage | The exact forklift / stacker / pallet truck and its load rating |
| System voltage and capacity | Vehicle voltage platform and the capacity needed per shift |
| Duty cycle | Shift length, charging windows and whether packs are swapped |
| Installation space and interface | Battery bay dimensions, quick-change mechanism and connector form |
| Operating environment | Indoor or outdoor, temperature and dust conditions |
| Capacity & discharge | Built from 0.1 Ah to 600 Ah to your requirement — common levels such as 10 Ah, 20 Ah, 50 Ah, 100 Ah and 200 Ah are all confirmed per model; continuous and peak rates are matched to the duty cycle |
The above describes the general matching logic only. The final selection is made by us — your requirements come first, and we work to reduce your cost as far as safety allows.
FAQ
Questions about logistics and material handling packs
Which chemistry is used for material handling packs?
Usually assessed from the LFP direction, which suits heavy-duty cycling such as forklifts in terms of cycle performance and thermal stability. The final choice is ours to make based on your requirement — lithium-ion or sodium-ion, we match the more suitable option.
Is fast charging supported?
Tell us the charging time and current you need. The charging strategy and protection parameters are settled at the selection stage, shortening recharge time as far as safety allows and explaining the effect on cycle life.
Can a quick-change structure be configured?
Yes. Provide the battery bay dimensions and the quick-change mechanism interface, and we will design the structure and confirm the connector form and protection strategy.
How is certification handled?
We hold 17 certifications and reports including CE, IEC 62133, UL 2054, RoHS and REACH. Mature models come with existing certificates, provided directly; newly customised models are checked item by item against your target market and specifications. New certifications are handled end to end by our team, with testing costs and timelines set out in the proposal for your confirmation before anything starts.
