The Next Generation of Lift Truck Productivity –
Managers of multi-shift lift truck operations are under constant pressure to hold down costs while increasing productivity. And while many have looked at several options to strike that balance, most have overlooked alternative clean power solutions such as hydrogen fuel cells.

This Video Webcast, recorded on the show floor at NA 2006, will feature the emerging technology of hydrogen fuel cells for lift trucks, its viability as a clean power alternative and how it can increase lift truck uptime and productivity. In addition, you will hear the experience of end users who have already put hydrogen fuel cells to work in some of the largest distribution hubs in North America.
