Intelligent electric forklift chargers, monitoring devices at AeroVironment

Capable of charging any brand, type or voltage of materials handling battery, the new PosiCharge ProCore series is ideal for electric forklift fleets of all sizes, said Jonah Teeter-Balin, director of product marketing at AeroVironment (Booth 1463).

“ProCore continues our product line of intelligent, environmentally friendly products that make our customers’ lives simpler and easier,” he said. “As the most efficient charger on the market, it recharges electric forklift batteries faster, saving money on electricity bills.”

It’s also the first line of chargers that can be configured and managed remotely with an iOS- or Android-compatible mobile device app, added Teeter-Balin.

“Operations and fleet managers no longer have to be right next to the charger to program it or see its data,” he said. “It can also connect to our BatteryRx device that collects maintenance and utilization data for each battery to help users get better asset utilization and longer lifespan.”

Also showcased is the built-in ConnectRx charger monitoring technology that detects cable pin connection abnormalities and alerts users to possible problems. “It prevents system failure and asset damage while protecting personnel,” Teeter-Balin said.
