ReadyPower and PowerTap Make Material Handling More Productive

For the North American Market, Nuvera Fuel Cells has teamed with East Penn Manufacturing Co., maker of top-quality Deka motive power batteries, to create a Total Power Solution (TPS) for forklift fleets. TPS has two basic elements: ReadyPower, a hybrid fuel cell power pack that is interchangeable with standard lead acid motive batteries, and PowerTap, a hydrogen supply system that provides convenient dispensing and on-site generation from natural gas.

Features and Benefits: Increased Productivity
Fast refueling available in multiple locations	-->	Reduces travel time, forklift trucks stay on duty longer to increase productivity
Fuel cell power stays constant throughout shift	-->	Truck performance remains at peak levels to insure maximum productivity
Fuel cell operation consistent in all temperatures	-->	Truck performance is unaffected by temperature and remains at peak levels to insure maximum productivity
Improved Plant Safety
ReadyPower not swapped out of truck	-->	Eliminates risk of dropped loads associated with heavy lifting of batteries Eliminates threat of acid spills from damaged batteries
Increased Revenue
Eliminates weekly and monthly maintenance intervals	-->	Reduces time the fork lift truck is off the floor to increase overall productivity
