Diesel forklift trucks remain a mainstay of material handling equipment.

Diesel forklift trucks remain a mainstay of material handling equipment.

Although they cannot be used for indoor applications because of their exhaust emissions, they remain well suited to outdoor use due to their robust design and powerful engines. Although 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.

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, Ecobat Battery, with its Numax brand has all the options covered.

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.

The company’s services include battery inspection, watering and surface cleaning, but also bolt on 2-volt fitment and cell repair, plus stripping, cleaning and refitment. On the charging side of the equation, installation of a suitable system or battery filling station are among the many other areas that Ecobat Battery’s knowledge and experience can be brought into play.

With the experience inherent within a specialist business that has been trading for more than 70 years, along with the high quality training each engineer undertakes, the company is also able to provide its customers with an economical breakdown repair or short term resolution, to ensure they have a first fix solution that means that equipment downtime is reduced to an absolute minimum.
