Big Joe Forklifts High-Use Case Study_Wolter

Free Energy Through Regenerative Braking

REGENERATIVE BRAKING: THE UNSUNG HERO Big Joe’s integrated lithium-ion battery recharges whenever an operator slows the truck down via regenerative braking. Over the last three months, the forklift averaged one hour of operation a day powered by energy from regenerative braking - essential when every second counts. Lithium’s ability to charge via braking extended run times by 6.1%, a key to unlocking 24/7 applications that other power sources, such as lead acid batteries may have struggled with.

UP TO 1.75 HOURS PER DAY POWERED BY REGENERATIVE BRAKING.

ENERGY USAGE Over a twelve month period the unit used 9,192 kWh.
