Unique forklift chargers

High-frequency chargers are available in many different versions on the market. Our products are characterized by their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, legal certainty and high safety standards / safe handling. Our high-frequency chargers are unique because they have a modular design and can be individually configured. With an impressive efficiency of up to 96%, they enable rapid amortization within around two years by saving electricity costs.

The intelligent charging technology of our devices ensures maximum energy efficiency, extends battery life and makes you ready for future technologies.

Why is it worth it for you?

  • Maximum battery life and minimum electricity costs for high efficiency
  • Individual optimization of your loading management
  • Professional planning of charging stations for legal security
  • Expert testing concepts to increase occupational health and safety
  • Multi-shift operation thanks to high quality and reliability (high-quality components, sophisticated design and intelligent electronics)
  • Symmetrical load on the grid (high resistance to grid fluctuations and even distribution of the grid load to all phases)

Smart charging with calendar function

The calendar function of our Charger Plus revolutionizes energy management in your company. This enables precise planning of charging processes, which avoids peak loads and significantly reduces electricity costs. For example, charging times are set outside peak consumption times. The calendar function helps to intelligently manage the resulting load peaks. Companies with photovoltaic systems also benefit from this function, as self-consumption is significantly increased. In addition, the calendar function offers the option of blocking certain periods for charging in order to prevent a power peak when other energy-intensive processes are taking place. With the Charger Plus, companies are relying on a future-oriented and cost-efficient solution to optimize their energy management.

Automatic battery detection

For maximum flexibility, the high-frequency charger enables different battery types with different voltages and capacities to be charged. 

The charger automatically recognizes the connected battery (24 V, 48 V, 80 V) and selects the appropriate characteristic curve and charging parameters.

Networking, monitoring and evaluation

To ensure high energy efficiency in intralogistics, it is crucial to control energy consumption, especially when several chargers are used simultaneously. To do this, it is essential to be able to control and monitor the charging processes using reliable quantitative data and in live operation.

With minimal installation effort, several chargers can be networked together and connected to external computing units such as an energy management system, either via CAN bus communication, RS485 communication or an API (programming interface).

Modular design

Thanks to the unique modular system, in addition to a lower failure rate, there are numerous other advantages that are worthwhile for you.

Low repair costs due to ease of repair: Most repairs can be carried out on site by service technicians. This eliminates the need to send in the charger, which is costly and time-consuming.

Flexible expansion options for the charging electronics: Additional equipment options for communication with external devices or expansion boards provide more networking options. In addition to performance enhancement options, you also have the option of charging lithium-ion batteries.

Suitable accessories for your forklift battery

Take the opportunity and order the appropriate accessories, such as water refilling systems, electrolyte circulation, chargers and battery changing systems for your truck directly with your battery order.

Power Control: Control of the power supply

Power Control is a software solution that enables efficient control of the power supply for the Charger Plus. The software is characterized by an intuitive user interface and ensures a clear overview of the charging status and operating parameters.

By integrating state-of-the-art hardware and software into the charging station, Power Control offers effective control and management of energy consumption. An outstanding feature is the ability to limit power consumption, which leads to a significant reduction in peak loads and a reduction in energy costs. With this system, you can ensure reliable peak load capping.

Remote control and display

If the power unit and the charging electronics are physically separated, for example due to a lack of space or high levels of soiling in the charging station, the remote control and display enable convenient operation:

  • Charging via floor charging plate or docking station
  • Management and control via remote display
  • External start and stop button
  • Planning the charging process for time windows with low electricity prices

Temperature-controlled fast charging

  • Use of high charging currents
  • Decentralized charging directly at the workplace to avoid travel to the charging station
  • Saving an exchangeable battery in two-shift operation

On-boarding

The on-boarding option is for attaching the charger directly to the vehicle, including a drive-away guard when the charger is connected.

Comprehensible signal output

Four freely programmable outputs for transmitting various signals (e.g. current charging phase, automatic water filling or maintenance interval). Visualization of the charging status via indicator lights, traffic lights or acoustic signaling.

Frequently asked questions about our forklift chargers

A battery charging system includes charging rooms, charging stations, individual charging stations and all the electrical equipment required to charge a battery. It is therefore a room or place where the truck batteries are charged.

There are different versions, depending on the size of the forklift fleet. With a battery charging room and a charging station, the forklift batteries are removed from the industrial truck for charging. These variants are very useful in multi-shift operation, for example. With a single charging station or a charging point, the battery remains in the vehicle during the entire charging process.

Battery charging room

The battery charging room is a space where forklift batteries are temporarily placed for charging. The chargers are physically separated from forklift batteries.

Battery charging station

Forklift batteries can be temporarily connected to the battery charging station for charging. The chargers are here in the same room with the forklift batteries.

Single loading bay (loading point)

A single charging bay is a bay that is specifically equipped for charging forklift batteries through the appropriate layout and signage.

When using electric forklift trucks, every company needs a battery charging system, i.e. a defined space or room in which one or more chargers can be set up. Not all areas in a company are suitable for this. Experience shows that there are still many companies that do not think through the selection of a suitable location carefully enough and do not observe the basic safety requirements for such a location.

Through a risk assessment, you can analyze which measures are necessary for your company. Our specialists will be happy to support you in this endeavor.

There should be a distance of at least 0.6 m between the individual positions. Chargers and spark-generating equipment, such as switches, sockets or similar, should be positioned at least 1.0 m away. A distance of at least 2.5 m is required from flammable objects, areas subject to fire, explosion or explosive hazards. The room/aisle height should be at least 2.0 m.
