WAAREE ESS in association with ACE Ltd (Action Construction Equipment Ltd), has designed, developed and supplied high capacity 23KWhr lithium battery for 3 Ton fork lift applications. These forklifts equipped with WAAREE lithium batteries have now been deployed at Chennai airport and operating for 12 hrs per day. WAAREE ESS is the pioneer in addressing the demands of lithium batteries in the material handling and traction equipment like fork lifts in the Indian market. Deployment of Lithium batteries have added value to ACE forklifts, the entire operation is through IoT enabled Smart battery management systems with CAN Bus Communication which has also added to the operating life of the system. Long lifecycles of WAAREE ESS lithium batteries have increased the daily duty hours of the forklifts as compared to the conventional lead acid batteries bringing in more value for the money spent.
Speaking on this achievement, Shiv Nath, MD, WAAREE ESS Pvt Ltd, said, “We are very excited about this initiative of ours to transform the energy storage for mobility into a smart IoT enabled system with cutting edge technology features for high reliability, safety at a competitive cost. We believe in delighting customers with high productivity and flexibility in operations our offerings bring about.”
Chetan Gole, Vice President, ACE Ltd, said, “In our pursuit to offer world-class products with contemporary technology, we are happy to introduce our Li-Ion battery-powered forklifts to our valued customers. The technology offers virtually maintenance-free batteries, rapid charging feature, offers longer working cycles and charging during free time to give maximum productivity. Also, it helps avoid the hassles of frequent change of batteries for longer operation cycles. This is relatively a clean and user-friendly technology. We are proud to announce that ACE has bagged the prestigious single largest order of 28 nos. 3T capacity Li-ion battery forklifts with 5 years maintenance contract from Airport Cargo, Chennai.”
WAAREE ESS lithium batteries have higher energy density, it has also helped in reducing the weight of forklifts, in turn improving the operational energy efficiency of the entire system. The advanced IOT Battery Management System of WAAREE ESS, with “on the Air” features has helped to dynamically manage the battery parameters and life management which is not possible with the conventional lead acid technology. One major advantage that lithium batteries have made to get rid of the charging method of the conventional lead acid batteries wherein battery was required to be removed each time from the fork lift and to be bought at the charging station for charging happen, the lithium batteries can also be opportunity charged in Situ.
Its state-of-art design & manufacturing capabilities make it a reliable brand for diverse applications from distributed power reserves to motive power. Their in-house research & development expertise on various lithium batteries technologies including Lithium Ferro Phosphate, Lithium Nickel Manganese gives them an advanced edge in the entire battery industry.
