Understanding The Technology Behind Fourth-Party Logistics
LITHIUM-ION HELPS PAPER AND PACKAGING OPERATIONS CUT COSTS AND EMISSIONS WHILE BOOSTING PRODUCTIVITY
Paper and packaging production and distribution facilities can be harsh environments characterized by dust, dirt and demanding work for forklift operators. One of the customers relied on internal combustion engine (ICE) lift trucks powered by diesel or propane. These power sources produce strong fumes, emissions and heat, particularly if the truck is in use for long stretches or even all day. The other customer counted on lead-acid batteries as the motive power source for their forklifts. While this power source does not produce tailpipe emissions, the heavy batteries presented other challenges for the fast- paced paper facility. To overcome long charging times, they would change out a depleted battery for a fresh one, rather than put the lift truck out of use for the entire charging period. This type of battery change out puts an additional burden on the operator; it can be complex and time-consuming, cutting into their productive time. The useful life of lead-acid batteries did not always last the full length of the lift truck lease term either, resulting in productivity losses or even replacement costs as the battery’s power and ability to hold a charge diminished.
CHALLENGE: Reduce costs and emissions in paper and packaging production environments SOLUTION: Hyster ® lift trucks powered by lithium-ion batteries RESULTS: Optimal efficiency, sustainability and cost savings for handling loads in specialized paper production facility // CHALLENGE Two large providers of paper and packaging solutions in North America faced similar challenges within their material handling operations. In order to limit costs, reduce emissions, improve their work environment and boost labor utilization, the paper and packaging companies partnered with Hyster Company.
