forklift batteryforklift battery - Forklift batteries are fast becoming an alternative to the internal combustion powered ones that for so long have been familiar sights in warehouse and construction operations. Not everyone is however convinced that this is the way forward. The Forklift battery vs. other power types debate therefore still goes - is “filling up” is better than “charging up?” It goes without say that both types would undoubtedly be able to perform the same basic functions, but differences do arise in regards to optimal environmental and task conditions.
So how do you therefore decide on whether to go for the forklift battery option or the good old internal combustion engine option? Well below are the key points the ongoing debate seems to centre around:

Accu-Fork™
Patent
Pending
A
SELF-CONTAINED
LASER GUIDED
FORKLIFT SYSTEM
Accu-Fork is an
inexpensive, high-tech, parallel mounted laser guidance device that
ensures exact placement
of the fork tips.
It provides the forklift operator with a constant visual
reference
to exact fork tip location when placing or retrieving a product
from it's storage space.
The Accu-Fork
Forklift Laser system utilizes
state of the art circuitry in order to
improve the overall performance and features of the product.
|
|
Utilizing
a Vibration Sensitive Circuit, the Accu-Fork Laser will automatically engage
with any movement of the forks.
The Vibration
Sensitive Circuit and Laser are housed in a machined
aluminum housing. The Vibration Sensitive Circuit automatically
cuts power to the unit 30 seconds after movement stops.
The need for an On/Off Switch is completely eliminated.

The
laser is a highly efficient 650nm 5mW module that incorporates a Thermal
Disconnect Circuit that will automatically shut down the laser if the
ambient temperature exceeds the maximum temperature rating of the laser
so it will not become damaged.
The Accu-Fork is powered by a 4.8V NiMH rechargeable
battery pack that has sufficient storage capacity to run the unit for
approximately 40+ hours of continuous use.
The unit comes with a 4.8V NIMH Battery Charger that will put an 80%
"quick charge" on the battery pack in 4 hours and will fully
charge the battery pack in approximately 8 hours.

The
Benefits of the Accu-Fork Laser System
-
The
Accu-Fork does not require additional training to use.
Minimal Familiarization is all that's needed.
-
The
Accu-Fork is a self-contained unit that mounts directly on the
fork carriage in under 5 minutes.
-
The
Accu-Fork gives the operator a constant visual reference to fork
position thus decreasing personal injury and product damage.
-
The
Accu-Fork laser is controlled by a Vibration Sensitive Circuit
that automatically turns the laser on and off to save battery
life. The unit will operate approximately 40 hours before recharging
is necessary.
-
This
rugged laser device will not only save money by decreasing personal
injury and product damage/loss, it will also provide a measurable
boost to your company's' bottom line by increasing employee productivity.
-
During our product testing phase we discovered that Accu-Fork
is an excellent training tool for new forklift operators.
-
Accu-Fork
takes the "guesswork" out of forklift placement and
provides all forklift operators additional confidence and peace
of mind.

Feedback/Letters:
"Ever
since we started using the Accu-Fork, productivity increased by at
least 15%, damaged goods have decreased dramatically, and our drivers
fell in love with them from the very start." - Warehouse Manager
-Illinois
"Simply
the best aftermarket addon for forklifts....Period." - Forklift
Mechanic -Iowa
"Easily
pays for itself in a matter of weeks." - CEO - Georgia
"Installation
is a breeze, it took us longer to unpack the items than it did to
install them." - Warehouse Manager -Chicago, IL

The
Accu-Fork easily attaches to the forklift carriage in under 5 minutes. The
Laser is vertically adjustable so it can be perfectly aligned parallel
with the forks. Accu-Fork
is mounted horizontally with the forks. When the laser dot
hits the opening in the pallet, it disappears indicating forks are
correctly aligned with pallet opening. |
