Your Battery. Brought back to life

48 volt black rejuvenated forklift traction batteryElectric forklifts have many advantages. They are quieter, easier to operate, cleaner, safe to use around food products and come in a variety of configurations not available in internal combustion equipment. However they have one large disadvantage. Batteries. Anyone who has ever had to replace one of these knows just how expensive all that lead and acid can be.
But there is an alternative to spending thousands of dollars on a replacement battery (seriously they are that expensive). For around 20% of the cost of a replacement battery, Secondhand Forklifts Sales & Service can send out a technician to regenerate your existing battery, extending it’s useful lifespan for many more years.
Using specialised equipment we throughly inspect the battery and give you an appraisal on it’s potential for rejuvenation. If you decide to proceed we strip the battery and, using our unique battery regenerator perform a multi-step process that removes contaminants and brings the battery back to life again.
