Hyster champions the electrification of materials handling operations. Among its solutions is an onboard charging system that allows several of its integrated lithium-ion forklifts to be charged via common electrical outlets in addition to traditional off-board fast charging. This option opens the door for more small and mid-sized businesses and lower-hour applications to bring lithium-ion battery power to their operations. It also enables businesses looking to rent equipment to use electric power without altering their infrastructure. NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: Hyster recently expanded its lineup of high-capacity forklifts with integrated lithium-ion power with the J230-400XD forklift series. The trucks use a 350-volt battery architecture that enables long run times and minimal energy loss without the cost and complexity of higher- voltage systems. iGPS Logistics igps.net iGPS Logistics offers pallets that are lighter than wood alternatives, producing fewer emissions during their transportation. For every 100,000 iGPS pallets shipped, nearly 1,000 gallons of fuel are saved, and there is a reduction of more than 20,000 pounds of greenhouse emissions. iGPS pallets are more durable than wood, lasting an average of 100 trips vs. 25 (actual, not just lab tested). And iGPS pallets can be recycled into new pallets at the end of their lifespans.
