NON-STOP PERFORMANCE 20+ HOURS EACH DAY.
RESULTS HIGH UTILIZATION, HIGH RELIABILITY • Energy consumption • Service information This data-driven approach allowed the facility to monitor performance trends and identify opportunities for operation improvement. In early 2025, a high-output injection molding facility in Texas took a bold step toward electrification. Operating 24/7, the plant introduced Big Joe integrated lithium-ion electric counterbalance forklifts to test their ability to meet the demands of a continuous, high-hour operation. Each truck was equipped with a 36.8kWh battery and charged using a 12kW external charger. The goal - prove that their operation could replace their older internal combustion units with Big Joe integrated lithium without impacting their operation. OVERVIEW CHALLENGE The facility’s material handling needs were intense: • 20+ hours of daily operation per truck on peak days • Minimal downtime windows for charging • A need for cost predictability, emissions reduction and fleet optimization The question was clear: Could electric trucks not only survive but thrive in demanding applications? SOLUTI0N All Big Joe forklifts are equipped with Pulse - Big Joe’s advanced telemetry system that delivers comprehensive, real-time tracking to ensure precise, up-to-the-moment visibility into: • Operational hours • Battery state of charge (SOC) • Charging behavior
