With the acquisition of PowerCell, Manbat Industrial Power Systems now offers greater UK coverage than any other industrial battery company. That means more engineers, at more depots, so an expert is always nearby. Manbat also offers a greater product selection, offering the perfect battery and charger for the job…at the right price.
Whether working in partnership with a truck manufacturer, a dealership or directly with the end user, Manbat’s mission is to specify the best combination of battery and charger to deliver a solution that reduces energy costs, optimises shift length and maximises the operating life of the battery. Since this can rarely be achieved by pairing a battery and charger with the same brand name, one of Manbat’s key advantages is its independence and ability to provide the perfect solution for each application.
Perhaps Manbat’s greatest gift to a customer lies in its abilities to coax the longest possible life from a battery, helping rescue batteries that would otherwise be prematurely consigned to the scrapheap. It’s been estimated that around 28% of fork truck batteries are scrapped before their working life is over and that is very expensive to the truck user. Manbat can identify which batteries within a fleet are still performing satisfactorily and which could be given a new lease of life through the replacement of a faulty cell.
In terms of field service, Manbat offers everything from ad hoc support to a “total” solution, whereby it takes total responsibility for the well-being of the truck. From initial specification to a support package that will maximise utilisation of every truck in a fleet along. Manbat also plays a monitoring role, spotting poor operator practice (such as inappropriate charging patterns) that can reduce battery life or increase running costs.
The results speak for themselves. It’s not unusual, in applications where Manbat have provided the maintenance package, for batteries to still be performing after 12 years – even on 24-hour sites.
