Aker Wade to Collaborate with Powergen on Custom Industrial Fast Chargers for European Market
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Due to the growth of
its European business, Aker Wade Power Technologies LLC has entered into a
contractual alliance with Powergen SRL to promote an industrial battery charger
for material handling customers throughout Europe.
In the initial stage, Powergen will introduce Aker Wade's modern fast-charging
system throughout its dealer network. In the second stage, the alliance will
pair the Aker Wade smart controllers with Powergen charger hardware to produce
high-quality fast chargers specifically for customers in Europe. Made-in-Europe
chargers will allow Aker Wade and Powergen to better serve their customers
through shortened lead times, local service and competitive pricing.
"The second stage of our collaboration enables us to better serve our customers
in Europe by providing our advanced controls and monitoring to Powergen.
Powergen will use its hardware to produce the chargers efficiently and with a
lower price point than if we were to manufacture them in the US," says Bret
Aker, Managing Director, Aker Wade.
"This alliance helps us serve a growing segment of customers in Europe who no
longer wish to purchase and maintain multiple batteries for each lift truck they
operate," says Antonio Borri, Managing Director, Powergen.
With fast chargers, customers can charge their battery-operated forklifts
quickly, while the operator is on break. Advanced controls on the charger
communicate with the battery to manage temperature and current, and
automatically stop the charging process once the charge is at an optimum level.
This provides power for forklifts to work throughout the day, while optimizing
the health of the battery for long life.
"Our customers in Europe can confidently move away from multiple batteries,
battery storage rooms and the heavy labor demands that go with changing
batteries," says Aker. "With these new fast chargers, they need just one battery
for each lift truck."
Aker Wade and Powergen are able to deliver and service the existing line of fast
chargers immediately. The new fast chargers will be available through Powergen.
