Changing your thinking about battery changers
Article Abstract:
Multi-Shifter Inc. CEO and Chairman John Pratt states that the company emphasizes the productivity of battery changers when they try to market them. Pratt states that the most important concern of a battery handler is the minimization of the out-of-service time that trucks spend when their batteries are being changed. Pratt adds that an automated battery changer, which requires one operator, enables the user to save 18 minutes of work time per truck per change as compared to the manual changing being done by two workers. The battery changer enables the user to improve the productivity of its truck operators and also reduces the inventory that is being carried.
