Hydrogen Fuel Cell-powered Forklifts

The Raymond Corporation continues its rich history of innovation by developing the application of fuel cells to our battery-powered lift trucks. Based on our research, we have found that there is significant potential to improve warehouse productivity with the integration of fuel cell technology. Advantages of fuel cell application to forklift trucks include higher productivity due to rapid refueling, high performance until the fuel is depleted, and reduced environmental impact versus propane gas-powered (LPG) trucks and industrial battery-powered vehicles. Fuel cell technology will provide opportunities to improve warehouse productivity while lowering operating costs in material handling and distribution applications as the infrastructure grows. With its ongoing work with fuel cells, Raymond is committed to advancing customer-centric innovation.
