East Pennrecently released a new, comprehensive whitepaper to help anyone who purchases, manages, or operates a forklift fleet in today's material handling and logistics profession select the best battery power solution. Electric batteries power almost 2/3 of all forklift trucks in North America. Maximizing forklift performance requires matching the right battery technology and charging practices to your fleet's needs.   

East Pennprovides a fair and objective assessment of technology types as the company offers both a full range of Deka lead-based designs and Deka Ready Powerlithium batteries.

This whitepaper was designed to help tackle today's material handling challenges and guides the reader on a step-by-step analysis of their facility, and assists in finding their best solution. It covers key topics such as Power and Performance (specifically Equivalent Battery Units (EBU's)), Cost and Maintenance, Infrastructure Capabilities, Product Technology (lead and lithium-ion), and Sustainability.

Based on each facility's unique needs, a conclusion can be made for the best battery technology, whether lead, lithium-ion, or a fleet containing both technologies. Making the right battery selection will maximize performance and produce the best ROI.
