In a just-in-time marketplace, every hour spent changing,
recharging and maintaining lead-acid forklift batteries eats into productivity.
Now, there’s an alternative. Hydrogen fuel cells can help enhance material
handling operations through superior performance that helps to increase productivity.
Air Products provides the hydrogen supply and fueling infrastructure for
fuel cell power packs, which are direct replacements for the industrial batteries
used in forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and other material handling vehicles. |
Using Air Products' integrated hydrogen fueling systems with fuel cell power packs offers many benefits:
 |
eliminates time-consuming recharging and swap-outs associated with batteries; vehicles are refueled once or twice per day and can be refueled in three to five minutes |
|
produces constant voltage, so industrial vehicles maintain constant speed throughout the workday |
|
the only emission from hydrogen fuel cells is water |

Flexible options for hydrogen supply and fueling
Air Products offers complete hydrogen supply
and fueling solutions tailored to the needs of the material handling industry.
Support for pilot programs—Air Products’ mobile
Hydrogen Fueling Services make it easy and cost effective to evaluate fuel cell
technology at your facility. The HF150 mobile hydrogen fueler provides everything
you need—hydrogen supply as well as self-contained dispensing equipment. No utility
hookups are required. The fill procedure is completely automated, and
Air Products trains your people to use the fueler safely. Wayne Mabry
of Mitsubishi Caterpillar had this to say about the use of Air Products’ mobile fueler:
“The testing went great and your fueler played a big part in making it go so smoothly.
Our test guys were really impressed with how easy it was to refuel the truck instead of
having to charge the battery.”
Delivered hydrogen—When you’re
ready for a permanent installation, Air Products
offers gaseous hydrogen supply via tube trailer for
low-volume requirements as well as liquid hydrogen delivery
for users who require higher volumes. Hydrogen usage
and deliveries are supported by Air Products customer
service organization to provide an uninterrupted supply
of fuel 24/7,
365 days
per year.
On-site hydrogen generation—If
on-site generation better meets your needs, Air Products
offers electrolyzer technology as well as high-efficiency
natural gas or hydrocarbon reformers. Our team of
supply chain experts can analyze your particular situation
and recommend the source of supply that can help you
maximize reliability of supply while minimizing operational
costs.
 Fueling
Systems—Air Products' fueling systems
are designed for simple, cost-effective installation
and automatic operation for high reliability. Each
fueling system comprises three components—compression,
buffer storage and dispensing. Air Products'
dispensers offer fast-fill capabilities, are easy
to use and designed for safe operation by your personnel.
Air Products' dispensers support vehicle communications
to optimize the refueling process and increase safety.
