Tractors for airport and industrial applications
Airport baggage towing tractors, forklift trucks, mine carts and many other electric-powered industrial handling applications need on-board traction batteries.
Environmental considerations
In many cases, these tractor batteries have to comply with key environmental considerations:
Design considerations
Electric tractor batteries also need to meet important design considerations:
fast charging and heavy cycling capability
small installation footprint and low weight
robust construction to withstand frequent shock and vibration.
Saft STM and STH Ni-Cd and NHE Ni-MH traction batteries meet all these considerations.
Ni-MH advantages
NHE Ni-MH batteries are designed specifically for traction applications that require enhanced energy density combined with maintenance-free design. They provide:
high power/energy ratio
excellent safety
resistance to abuse.
